Students have read a variety of awesome books this year, both in class and independently. They worked together to design food trucks based around the characters and themes of their books.

In Art, 6th graders practiced painting Values using different watercolor techniques. Students learned how geodes form, the difference between organic and geometric shapes, and practiced creating concentric designs to create the form of the geode. Notice how crayons, salt and rice create such interesting textures as it reacts to the watercolor paints!

6th grade Explorers Squared studied the impact that art can have on our society. We examined different mediums of art and how the artists could use their work as an instrument of change. We looked at different social movements and examined the connection with art. Students then selected a movement that mattered to them and created art in a style of their choice to support the movement.
