Students in Mrs. Crandell's sixth grade class are working with local artist Lucas Thornton to create mosaic tile patterns. These tiles were chosen by tile artist Laurel Skye as authentically colored Roman tiles that could have been used in ancient times.
As part of the Roman Extravaganza at Zane Middle School, students in Ms. Elkinton's class are studying anatomy and the surgery practices of ancient Rome vs. modern times. They are working with local artist Lucas Thornton to create fake limbs and saws for a video clip that will be produced by Mr. Brooks class.
Eureka City Schools' Assistant Superintendent, Michael Davies-Hughes communicates his understanding of the CAASPP and the LCAP through visual art.The art of Zane Middle School 8th graders is now exhibited in Old Town Coffee and Chocolates through February. The opening of the show will be at Arts Alive at Old Town Coffee and Chocolate in Eureka, CA on February 6, 2016 at 6pm.
Creating stop motion videos continues to be a frequent choice for teachers to let students show their understanding in their own way. In a relatively short time, students can create the setting, characters, plot and other literary devices they need to tell a story. Here is an example from Winship science students. Previous example. Here are some of the mask making photos from a project we are doing with almost 170 eighth graders. They are using symbolism to describe a transformative event in their personal narrative in language arts. The outside of the mask symbolizes the public side while the interior of the mask is the personal/ private aspect of the event. The thinking behind each mask is amazing- often greater than what the mask itself appears to show. The teachers we worked with were blown away with how much they learned about their students, how much student to student collaboration and discussion happened and how the project transformed the feeling of safety and capacity for sharing within the classroom.
A show of the masks will open at Old Town Coffee and Chocolate in Eureka, CA on February 6, 2016 at 6pm. The Morris Graves Museum Youth Gallery hosted The Salamander Project on Saturday night's Arts Alive event in Eureka. This exhibit was a collaboration of naturalists, artists and 6th grade Winship students. The event was well attended by Winship families and Eureka City Schools employees.
Thanks to everyone who collaborated on this project to showcase the integration of art and science and make the students' learning visible.
The Winship Middle School salamander print show will open at the Morris Graves Museum of Art Youth Gallery on Saturday, December 5, 2015 at 6pm. This exhibit will feature the artwork that students created after studying salamanders in the nearby forest. The students in Ms. Ford's science classes worked with both a Bureau of Land Management scientist and an artist during this extensive NCAIP project. Below is a word cloud of student reflection on this work. Mouse over the art to see what they said.
Students at Winship Middle School are using stop motion animation to demonstrate their understanding of the life cycle of and challenges faced by local salmon. NCAIP in collaboration with the Bureau of Land Management have teamed up to get Winship Middle School students into a local forest to study printmaking, salamanders, habitat and invasive species. A Winship student places salamander board in the forest as BLM scientist looks on. An Ensatina eschscholtzii salamander is found and will be weighed and measured. Initial data show a correlation between location and number/ type of salamanders found.
Here is an article on how schools are shifting from a STEM to STEAM arts integration focus.
NCAIP facilitated arts integration at REEF. 183 students from around Humboldt County created cyanotypes applying what the had learned about the tools of composition. They also learned about the history and chemistry of photography with the.
235 students at Zane Middle School were treated to the professional storytelling art of Humboldt Native Olga Loya. 7th grade students are engaged in an integration of their social studies and language arts classes studying Mesoamerica. Loya performed stories from the Mayan and Aztec cultures. She used bilingual elements and audience participation.
Students at Zane Middle School recently collaborated to identify common themes in a given selection of art postcards in an activity called, "Curate a Show". Eureka teachers also engaged in the activity in a recent professional development.
