GARDEN: A VIEW OF NEW YORK
The Garden class has been busily studying Ezra Jack Keats this year. We learned that Keats was the first author and artist to write books about children who live in New York City! One of our favorite books by Ezra Jack Keats was The Snowy Day and while reading it, we learned that Keats created his illustrations through collage.
This year, the Garden class has been interested in buildings, particularly famous buildings of New York City. We have practiced building the Empire State Building, Chrysler Building, and Flatiron Building using blocks, art and sensorial materials! Our auction project this year reflects our combined interest in New York City and Ezra Jack Keats with a collage creation of the New York City skyline!

2E: A MAP OF NEW YORK
2E’s auction project is based on the sewing skills the children have developed this year, as well as their familiarity with maps and New York City. The children embroi-dered and labeled the five boroughs of NYC onto a black cloth. They also created a collage skyline of New York’s buildings (another area of interest for many children) along the bottom of the cloth. Each child is offering his or her skill level to the work, allowing everyone to create a piece of work they are very proud of!

2WAM: COLOR EXPLORATION
In 2Wam, we have been exploring colors this year. We experience color discrimina-tion throughout our lives, and in the classroom, the children were introduced to the concept of primary colors: red, yellow and blue. We enjoyed mixing these three colors with watercolors, finger paints, modeling clay, and oil pastels, to name just a few of the media with which we have worked.
The children were awed by the fact that these colors create three completely new colors when mixed together: orange, green and purple. Just as we learned how to create new colors by mixing, we also learned that within each color there are many different shades and hues. It was so much fun to work with the classical Montessori material, Color Box 3, and discover the many shades of blue and purple. Not only did we learn how to grade shades of one color, but we also practiced creating our own. For our auction project this year, we built upon on our love for color explora-tion by designing a rice paper lamp to showcase the skills we have learned. We used the color wheel to inspire our selection of colors for our lamp.

2WPM: ACTION JACKSON!
“What do you need to be ‘Action Jackson’?”
“You need paint and a canvas!”
The children of 2Wpm have been studying Jackson Pollock. Using the roof’s stair landing as their studio, they dripped, spread, dropped and sprayed paint. The painting they created is lovingly submitted to the auction by all the children and teachers of 2Wpm.
Jackson Pollock’s studio was a barn on Long Island, his paintings and fame came after much experimentation on his part. Our studio at WSMS has provided hours of experimentation. We painted with many different types of paint; we experimented with ways of applying paint to different surfaces. We used golf balls and marbles to paint paper. We did several paintings using sticks, spoons and paintbrushes to drop and drip paint. Then we discussed how to get action into the painting and several children carefully threw paint onto the surface.
Although Jackson Pollock’s barn floor is still covered with the paint from his paintings, our floor had to be cleaned up and what remains is this beautiful, active, exciting painting. We hope you enjoy.

3E: OUR NORTHERN LIGHTS
Inspired by our study of the Northern Lights, the children of 3E have created a three-dimensional winter scene of the Arctic. The children used multiple techniques and mixed media to create this whimsical miniature woodland and its surroundings. Our Northern Lights is a celebration of nature and our children’s creativity. This exceptional piece of art is a beautiful addition to any room.
