Third graders in Maine spend much of their year learning about their beloved state. Each year Mrs. Littlefield, who is the music teacher at Coastal Ridge Elementary School, York, ME put on a wonderful “Maine Night” performance as part of this unit.
This year we decided to work collaboratively on part of that performance. The pieces in the following video and gallery were inspired by the song “Coast of Maine” by Mike Nobel. For this project all third graders at CRES were asked to create a piece of artwork based on the lyrics of that song. Students then planned out their artwork in their sketchbooks using thumbnail sketches. Students were then free to use any of the centers in the CRES Studio to create their masterpiece. Some of the media the students chose to work in was mixed-media, embroidery, watercolor, colored pencil, and oil pastels.
