Wired for Art

The Turtles wire art literally took form today! Using embroidery hoops as a frame, the children twisted, looped and beaded the wire into myriad shapes.
The artists also continued their work with the still life, today adding in the ground which will give the art perspective. In this case, we used a pink scarf as the base, and so we got to mix up the color pink. As we discussed the color mixing at Morning Meeting, one child eagerly volunteered, "you mix white and red!" And that was just what we did!
The weather cleared enough for us to go outside, which was a good thing, because it looked like Paul was trying to excape. The Turtles and Little Frogs worked together to chase him all over the playground, capturing him, only to have him escape again and again!
