Dia De Los Muertos Skulls at Tower Rock and Merrimac

Earlier this month, 3rd graders at Tower Rock and 3/4's at Merrimac learned about the Mexican holiday, Day of the Dead.

They learned to draw a skull, then added symmetrical designs.

 The final step was to color their designs using vibrant colors and add some sparkle.

Merrimac Wild Things!

Kindergartener's, at Merrimac, were busy this week painting their "Wild Things" based on Maurice Sendak's book Where the Wild Things Are.

Mondrian Trees by Merrimac 4/5's

Mondrian Tree by Alice

4th and 5th grade student's in Mrs. Thompson's class at Merrimac learned about the abstract work of Piet Mondrian focusing on his trees. 

  They created their own abstract tree silhouette with black paint. 

     

4/5's then colored in between the branches by blending oil pastels using either a monochromatic or an analogous color scheme.
