I work as a roaming Art Teacher for grades 1-3 in Ben
Tzvi in Afula once a week.
I have 2 classes of each grade and 143 pupils all in
all! And teach them ALL in 1 day!
It’s definitely quite a challenge, but ever so
rewarding!!And I love it!!!!
I wanted to do a project with all
3 of my grades .Something that we could collaborate to make something special!
To show them that each on his own is special & beautiful but together we
are amazing!
I thought underwater would be
something bright & colourful!
I must say I was a bit
apprehensive but it was a very successful, though hard working project!
The grade 3’s started with the background,
I took them out of the classroom and I must say it was a bit wild!but they had
fun & made beautiful backgrounds! I decided not to take the others out as
45 mins just isn’t enough!
The grade 2’s & 1’s were
instructed to draw fish and seaweed (I prepared some worksheets with ideas
which I handed out for those that wanted inspiration) I reminded the kids that
if we copy something we must always change some details to make it our own!
I then took home all the
paintings of fish and that’s when the hard work started I cut out all the fish
& stuck them on the backgrounds (a surprisingly long process! Really it took
me over 3 hours!)
Just look at the wonderful
results!!!We are all very proud!
And the schools walls are
brightened up!
