What an amazing time we've been having with Miss Kat learning all about the origin, history and important parts of Hip Hop. We are looking forward to showcasing our talent during our concert next week!
Grade 2 - Drama / Music / Art
Learning Intentions:
- Students become aware of body and voice as instruments of expression
- Students develop an awareness and appreciation of a variety of music
- Students will appreciate and interpret artworks
I Can:
- Show awareness and appreciation of the variety of dramatic forms of expression
- Respond to music through movement
- Explain how an artwork tells something about its subject matter and the artisit who made it
As we have been working hard in the music room with Miss Kat and Mrs. Odegard to master the dramatic and musical side of Hip Hop, in our classroom, we looked closely at some art with a 'Hip Hop' style!
Keith Haring was an artist who loved to draw bright, bold pictures using simple lines and shapes. His artwork often showed people and animals moving, dancing, or jumping with lots of energy. He used strong colors and thick outlines to make his art easy to recognize. Keith Haring’s style teaches us that art can be fun, playful, and full of movement!
Keith Haring’s art is connected to hip hop culture because both were full of energy, creativity, and movement. Just like hip hop music and breakdancing, his drawings showed lively figures that seemed to dance across the page. He often created his artwork in busy city spaces where hip hop was growing, so his bold lines and bright colors matched the exciting rhythm of the streets. His art and hip hop both celebrated expression, community, and having fun through creativity!
December 1st - 5th
This week we had the wonderful opportunity to get together with our Grade 4 buddies from Mrs. Colhoun's class!
Grade 2 - Wellness
Learning Intention:
- Healthy Relationships: Personal well-being is supported through positive relationships built on communication, collaboration, empathy and respect.
I Can:
- Identify sources of support within the community to enhance well-being and relationships
- Practice sharing and listening to the ideas of others
Each of our buddies picked out a winter/holiday book that they wanted to share. Some of us listened to the story, some read the story together, and some took turns reading different pages or parts. After finishing the story, we worked with our buddies to create a representation of the story using loose parts. It was really great to see all of the students communicating and collaborating so nicely with each other.
