PROJECT
ARTS
Miss Eierman has been the
Project Arts Co-Teacher here at P.S. 90 for the last two years. The
program concentrates on the integration of Visual Arts with all
curriculum areas, with a strong focus on Social Studies and Literacy
themes. All grades participate in this program, as it is scheduled in
12 week cycles.
Some of the upper grade
themes that have been studied include: Ancient Egypt, The Aztec
Empire, and Traditional African Masks, and an Author Study of Steven
Swinburne.
Some of the lower
grade themes that have been studied include: Animal Habitats,
Flowers, Puppets, and an Author Study of Eric Carle.

A
class studying Traditional African Masks created rubbings of
original masks that the students created after learning
about masks and looking at pictures and examples of actual
masks.

A
third grade class was beginning to create paper mache
birds. This was part of a study of Steven Swinburne and
his literature. Many projects have begun in anticipation
of Steven Swinburne's visit to P.S. 90!
