3 Kindergarten Students learned about the Lunar New Year celebration through sharing a read aloud, images, and conversation. The students then drew fantastical dragons in their sketchbooks-this drawing exercise reinforced using lines and shapes the kids have learned and applying that knowledge into their pictures. First Grade Students are learning about architects Second Grade Students are continuing to think about Zaha Hadid, (Iraqui/Brittish), and positive and negative space in art Friedsreich Hundertwasser, (Austrian), and artist Bodys Isek Kingelez, (Belgian Congo, Africa),who created fantastic maquettes for buildings. Students will be brainstorming ideas about what an Urban Utopia might include. To start, students will be drawing building ideas considering both form and function. through a study of Matisse s The Dance I, which can be seen at the MoMA. Students work on a drawing in their sketchbooks, and then create a painting. They learn to think about the figures, (bodies), as shapes. Students also practiced modeling the painting by creating a tableau.(tableau- French for 'living picture', is a static scene containing one or more actors or models. They are stationary and silent). This year, students are taking some creative license with choice of sky colors, as well as skin tones! I m super excited about this project, as are the students-they love to paint!

If you around over the break, take your child on a treasure hunt to look for this Hadid building (28 th Street on the Highline) Matisse, 1910, oil paint
