Farewell to Faubion: Kindergarten

Faubion's building, which opened in 1950, will be getting demolished this summer for a complete rebuild. While the new school is being constructed, all Faubion staff, students, & even furniture will be temporarily placed at Tubman School. To help the students with the transition and to reflect on their positive experiences at Faubion, all K-5 students worked on school tribute art projects for the final weeks of the year.

The kindergarten teachers took photos of their students at their favorite school spot, so I used them to help the kiddos create a photo collage, spelling out the letters of our school name. In the background, the students drew their favorite people or activities at Faubion. You can view this beautiful collaborative artwork near the main office, and again when it is on display at Tubman for next school year! Great job, kindergarteners :]

2nd Grade Monochromatic Ice Cream Scoops!

Faubion's 2nd graders have learned an awful lot about color theory this year! They could tell you all about primary, secondary, & tertiary colors, as well as the difference between warm & cool colors. Most recently, they discovered how to create tints & shades by adding different amounts of white & black paint to any color. They created a set of monochromatic ice cream scoops (plus a waffle cone!) & then cut/glued them down onto a long, skinny paper. For their background, students picked paper that was the complimentary color of their ice cream scoops. I really love how Pop Art-esque these fun, colorful artworks turned out! Well done, 2nd grade!
