Art Rocks!

So this year my classroom theme was Art Rocks! We hit the ground running with a very elaborate project in 5th grade, bring on the life size electric guitars.

The students started by learning the anatomy of a guitar, and drew it at a 12 inch scale in their sketchbooks. They later enlarged their drawing to be a true to size at 36 inches.

The students then painted on cardboard and with help cut them out. We collected boxes and bottle caps school wise for the guitars and knobs.

Now that we are done I decorated the whole hallway with them. It's like a 5th grade teacher Battle of the Bands! 

The results were so amazing,  we celebrated with an Air Guitar Competition this afternoon!

Happy Halloween!
