Art - Community Garden

"How We Organize Ourselves" 
Central Idea: The work people perform helps build community
Lines of Inquiry:

• We take on roles each day and this helps us build a strong community (responsibility)

"The Curious Garden" by Peter Brown was read to the children to start our collaborative art project this Friday! While out exploring one day, a little boy named Liam discovers a struggling garden and decides to take care of it. Slowly, the garden spreads out and turns the dark, gray city into a lively, green community! At the end of the story, everyone joins Liam to make the city more beautiful and greener.

Instead of individual artwork, we decided to create a big garden poster to keep in our classroom. The children were excited to do a multimedia collage, using flowers, leaves, straw and seeds. As well, there were sponge painting with spring colour! 

"I will do the stems and you will paint the flowers!"

"We would like to add pink and purple flowers."

Here is our wonderful co-creation !
