3rd Grade Art with Ms. Castro-Santos
The second module for 3rd Grade in Wit & Wisdom is "Space" and to complement their learning students created drawings of spiral galaxies using chalk pastels. They drew and collaged images of self-portrait astronauts, rocket ships and planets. They also created clay aliens (currently in the kiln) to round out their study of outer space!
