Today the Sparrows began a new project, which soon will be displayed in our classroom art gallery. To go with our African theme study, friends learned about African masks. We looked at different masks, mostly from East and West Africa and learned about their significance.

1. Believed to have special powers.

2. Communicate with family.

3. Protection.

4. Celebrate getting older.

5. Worn during dances and ceremonies.

Ask your Sparrow what masks are used for.

To begin, friends rotated throughout the drawing table to draw the outline of their masks on cardboard. The teachers then cut out the drawings. Once the masks were cut out, friends once again cycled throughout, but this time painting the background of their mask. 

Friends conversed with one another while painting, talking about the color they chose, the shapes they drew, and other miscellaneous topics.

The Sparrows socialized, all while working on their motor skills, creativity and technique.

Once the masks are dry, friends will add details to make their mask's even more unique, just like their unique selves. 

Make sure to check our art gallery in the days to come for a new exhibit!

Also happening today...the opening of our house!

During choice, friends decided to make artwork to hang inside the house.
