3rd Grade Mehndi Hands Modification.

I did this project last year after being inspired by www.pantherspalette.blogspot.com.

This year I decided to kick it up a Notch! I have been pretty much obsessed with decorated borders, it just adds a whole other element!

If you want to read how to do the project check out my post from last year ( under 3rd grade).

4th Grade St. Basil's Cathedral Inspired Towers

A couple years ago I had the honor to go on a trip To Russia with my dear friend and her family.
We traveled from St. Petersburg to Moscow. In Moscow we visited the Red Square and Of course the famous St. Basil's Cathedral. I was in awe and couldn't believe how colorful and breathtaking it was!

So I always wanted to study this beautiful piece of Architecture. 

We talked about the St. Basil's cathedral, terms, like onion dome, spire, arch, etc. 

So the students used rulers to create straight lines for their towers, then created onion domes and spires and they were allowed to create their own "creative"towers, to show a more individual thought.

We talked about how to add textures in "clusters" to show that the towers were a texture but just a hint so it wouldn't look so cluttered.

AND of course, focused on bright and bold colors influenced by St. Basil's Cathedral!

Let's check them out. 

I will update with other finished projects once completed this week! THey were allowed to experiment with a twist on the towers with more creative and modern tower designs.
