Oxbow's fourth and fifth graders watched a PowerPoint about Pop Art focusing on Andy Warhol and his silkscreen portraits. Next they brainstormed together to decide on a person for their portrait. We have Edward Scissorshands, Jack Sparrow, Sponge Bob, Mario, and Elvis Presley to name a few. Next they worked with teammates to design and draw tracers. These were then used use to cut out four identical portraits out of colored paper, with each one using different colors. I'm excited to see the creativity, but more importantly it has been fun to watch them problem solve together. Team projects involve cooperative learning skills that even adults struggle with. I'm proud to see our students sharing, encouraging one another, and disagreeing gracefully. Way to go Oxbow Owls!
