Recently WP Art Triada Samaras made a virtual visit to the Joseph A. Taub School where she and art teacher Patty Kamiski co-taught an arts integration lesson inspired by hummingbirds to a 6th grade class. This lesson combined science, literacy and art and is featured on the WP Learning Arts at Home website in the Lessons in English section.
First students learned many facts about hummingbirds, especially with respect to their flight and the way they look. Next they were given a variety of easy to obtain art materials and they created their own flying machines using both their science knowledge and their active imaginations. A wide variety of innovative art works emerged.
