More final projects and some Pointillist art

Santi made Strawberry Jelly for his final project. I'll bet the Ingalls family would have enjoyed trying some of this stuff back there in the Big Woods. He also posted a video of his cooking process, which you can see on Google Classroom. 

For Derek's final project, he really did something that would have been useful if he were living in the 1800's. He made a planter box so that he could start a garden! He used real tools and wood. I'm sure he will have a successful garden with a beautiful box like this. 

Here is what Marcos came up with for the Pointillism painting. Sometimes when you use pointillist techniques and dab a paper with watercolor, it can come out as one solid picture.



Isaiah did an amazing job on his final project. He sewed a sock puppet and it looks really professionally done. I could imagine seeing this for sale in a toy store.



Isaiah also made a nice self-portrait of himself for the autobiography project. We all know what a good soccer player Isaiah is from PE class, so I'm not surprised this is how he represented himself.



As Miguel showed us at our meeting last week, he made an oil lamp, which would definitely have been useful in times long ago when they didn't have electricity.

Tessa had a similar idea to Miguel. She wanted to make something that gave light, but instead of a lamp she made candles. She did an amazing job of collecting all the materials, such as the wax and the wicks, and making the candles just as they would have in the olden days.

Here is what Tessa did for the Pointillism art project. She had a good idea of decorating around an image of a hand with lots of beautifully colored pointillist dots. 

Kaely had a similar idea to Tessa. She also made a hand with a wonderful array of dots around it.
