GEARS! GEARS! GEARS!                               STEAM
In keeping with the year's theme we've been doing art on a gear shaped canvas using paint or

sharpies . This project has included cutting and pasting! After the gears have been cut out and laminated, they will be arranged as a single machine and hung for display in the hall. These  machines will be up during the May parent conferences and  book fair.

As part of this project art classes have been building with blocks and gears. Working in 3-d is always fun. Some classes have been sketching the sculptures. Another art word we have been using is perspective.

Here are some structures built by the 5th graders
