Awesome Guitars!

My two fourth grade classes finished up our "Music City Collage" this week, and they turned out AWESOME!

We first practiced drawing guitars together after we discussed some key things particular to the city of Nashville. We discussed how the guitar was the main subject of the art, so in order to show emphasis we needed to think about the layout and make smart color choices for the guitar and background as well as not cover it up with the collaging aspect.


They used watercolor to paint the guitars and images of the Nashville city skyline and other important buildings. We also tore music sheets to glue on some music notes and one class discussed and included the population size of the city of Nashville to collaborate with their classroom teacher focusing on place value that week.


I hung some in the hallway this week and lots of teachers really liked them and said it had such a nice homey-Nashville like feel to add to the school.
