Art & Poetry Project
Students in my 3rd and 6th grade art classes collaborated on an art and poetry project for the holiday season. My 3rd graders were studying poetry and creating drawings and paintings to illustrate their poems. I chose a poem entitled "Christmas Dog" by Shel Silverstein and had the students brainstorm images for each of the stanzas. The older students created large scale paintings for the poem which we hung in the school hallway.
In the first video, I am discussing with one of my third grade students what the poem means and brainstorming concepts to visualize.
In the 2nd video, the student is reading the poem aloud while images the 6th graders created are featured.
