What makes these places beautiful?

What makes these paintings beautiful?

- People find things of beauty in the world around them.

- Artists share what they think is beautiful in their art.

OUR EXPERIENCES: We see beauty when we look closely at nature or when we view a landscape a distance. We see beauty in the parts of the world that are built by humans such as bridges and buildings

We also can "see" or feel beauty in our actions of kindness,  love and respect.

ARTISTS HELP US FIND AND SHOW BEAUTY IN OUR WORLD.

Can you think of a beautiful place you would like to share? 

Is it a building or is it in nature?

What lines, shapes and colors will you use?

On an index card, or small piece of paper, take 5 minutes to write about or draw something you find beautiful.

Places and Spaces: Community Sculpture- 2nd grade

Community-  a group of people living or working together in the same area. People in communities might go to the same schools, shop in the same stores and do the same things. They also help each other and solve problems together.

Today, you may choose to create individual squares of sculpture that feature an aspect of your community. Those of you who create a sculpture  may enjoy putting your neighborhood squares together to create a model of your community

Some examples are homes, schools (Festus), shops (main street), police and fire station, a church, produce stand, parks, water tower, creeks, playgrounds, restaurants and more!
