Here is a sampling of the many great things going on in the Dawe School art studio! Kindergarten self portraits, observational stuffed animal drawings (using pastels) in first grade, and lots of painting/sculptures/hot glue creations sprinkled throughout!
“The Whalemobile” visited the Dawe School! The Whalemobile is a life-sized inflatable whale named Nile, modeled after a real humpback whale that can be seen off the coast of Massachusetts. The inflatable whale was set up in the Dawe School gymnasium, with classes visiting it throughout the 2-day visit. Students could even go inside the inflatable structure to get a look at what a whale’s interior would look like! Students enjoyed getting up close to Nile, going inside, and learning about whales during their time with the Whalemobile.
Students at the Dawe School are enjoying working with fiber in art class! They are learning skills like how to thread a needle and tie a knot, how to create a running and whipstitch, and various weaving techniques.
