Can You Name this Type of Art?

Look at the following pictures and answer the following questions...

Do you think this is sculpture? Why or why not?

What do all of these pieces of art have in common?

6th Grade Enrichment Mola Designs

Most classes have been doing a lot of drawing and shading the past few weeks. Tell how you felt about drawing before some of our lessons together and tell me how you feel about drawing now. Do you feel more comfortable? Less comfortable? Do you 'see' more details?

PEACE DAY

Today we celebrate PEACE DAY around the world. All of these paintings have the word 'PEACE' in their title. What do you think the role of an artist would be for establishing peace around the world? Do you think art is an important part of creating peace? If so, how do we, as artists, make that happen?

For My Enrichment Classes, but anyone may comment.
