Students from Dodge Alumni School 29 Kindergarten Experiment with Architecture

Kindergarten students from Ms. Jeri Eslon's class in co-ordination with Art PIR Myra Winters recently experimented with an architecture project.  School 29 is a Dodge Alumni Grant School. 

First they used brainstormed with cut paper in the primary colors.  Next they arranged the pieces of paper in opened geometric forms.

Students next looked at the work of contemporary architects and noticed the correlation between this architecture and their own.  Below is a slide presentation of their project.

 

Celebrating Earth Day at NRC

The students at New Roberto Clemente School used old crayons for Earth Day.  Ms. Lauren Mandal, the art teacher and Ms. Triada Samaras, Art PIR from William Paterson University coordinated this art/science project. The old crayons that have been accumulating for the past three years were saved.

To begin their artwork, students drew and painted a cactus still life.  They gathered old crayons that have been accumulating for the past three years.

They also cut up used CDs.  They used tacky glue to attach all of the pieces.

This was a one day event for Earth Day while Mrs. Mandel was on a cart due to on-going PARCC testing making this project all the more remarkable! 

School 9 Celebrates Earth Day!

The students at School 9 collected empty water bottles for Earth Day.  Ms Dailey, the art teacher and Mrs.Sandler, PIR from William Paterson University coordinated this sculpture project. 

Using chicken wire as the base structure the water bottles were decorated by the students with permanent markers . Afterwards, the bottles were cut on a spiral and hung on the wire base.  

Presently, the students are deciding where to hang the finished three dimensional structure.
