The mural made a terrific stage set for the jazz concert.
We looked at Francis Guy's painting "Winter Scene in Brooklyn, 1821" to begin our city mural. Although, Guy's painting shows Brooklyn before cars or bridges, our students collectively decided that their mural could contain elements of the past, present and future. Our student teacher, Kevin Farrant worked with Ms. Varriale's class to make roads and cars for the mural. If one looks closely, the Statue of Liberty (by Noa) is visible on the distant shore. Students made self portrait collages to populate their city but since our city was so crowded, we decided that the 2nd graders could be jumping, cartwheeling, running and parachuting around the borders. Nice work, 2nd grade... more later.
