October : Mesopotamia

Students at Memorial School Explored the culture and art of Mesopotamia. They created works of art that were found during this time period such as Mosaics, the Tree of Life and Lamassu Figures. Students also discussed the significance of these pieces. 

September 2015

Exploring art through the ages is this year's Memorial Schools art theme. We will begin our journey  with prehistoric art and work our way through time ending up in The Modern Era. 

During the month of September, we have been digging in the past. Students from first through fifth grade have been learning about Pre-Historic art and discovering what some of the world's first artists created. Following a class discussion about the oldest works of art in existence ( that we have evidence of ) children then created their own "cave art masterpieces"
