Elementary I (1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade)

Following our printing fest, the Elementary I teachers asked if I could collaborate with them on creating some visual pieces for the Friendship Store the students are building. The students created a type of  visual exchange unit using the symbols of a band-aid, sun, lightbulb and heart. Each symbol represents a different act of kindness. Along with the symbol work, the students created a large banner for the store. Following the work on the store, we began work on the Gala playing card art. I let the students experiment with a variety of materials and set them free to create. Out of the hundreds of cards they created, each student will be represented in a final card collage to be auctioned off at the upcoming Gala. We have not collaged the final piece yet, but they created several beautiful examples to choose from!
