GRADE 5: African Mask Project-Students research and design an African Mask using regional shapes and characteristics. Brown or red clay is rolled out to a slab and the students use their original drawings to create the masks out of clay. The students choose tribal symbols from Africa that have significance to them and incorporate them into the overall design of the masks. An aged patina is achieved with brown shoe polish and metal. Students are encouraged to further develop thier own individual style, sence of self-confidence and individuality. |

GRADE 4: Clay Building-Students build extensively in clay designing and creating mini-furniture focusing on balance and form. Students may combine thier individual pieces to design a room. Emphasis is place on the objects form in the round, taking into account the front, back and sides of the furniture they choose to create.

| GRADE 3: City Scape- Students create a low-relief city scape that reflects a feeling of calm or action. Through the use of color, texture and subject placement student create a piece with mood and expression. Students also develop critical thinking, analysis, and aesthetic judgement skills.

Third Grade-Food and Snacks
Tile Project-Students in all grades created a ceramic tile to be permanently installed in the cafeteria. Anne Hutchinson students voted on a theme for each grade level in the Hutch Happenings and used underlaze on bisque tiles to express thier original work of art. The themes included food, nature, U.S. history and under the sea. Each second grade student entering Anne Hutchinson will add to the wall each year. This project is made possible with the help of the PTA.
