5th grade life cycle clay tile mural with visiting artist

5th grade students from the 2012-2013 class worked with visiting artist Ileana Barbou to create a public art piece for Crest View Elementary.  The 5th grade classes each created a relief clay tile piece inspired by the theme of life cycles.  Students learned new techniques while also integrated their classroom studies of plant life cycles.

Visiting Fiber Artist Julie Ireland

5th grade Bat Houses

Visiting artist, Buffy Andrews, Crest View parent and local architect, helped teach a unit on architecture. Students are in the final stages and they are beginning to complete their bat house designs.  Some are on display in the front case across from the office.  Students integrated math & science with the arts to complete their bat house scale models, which are very cool.
