CLIP Art Classes in Full Swing!

By -

Our CLIP Art classes have been busy with many different activities!  In 1st grade, our students learned about the Chinese opera and made their own opera masks!

Our 6th graders learned about ancient Egyptian sculptures and sunken reliefs, to supplement their CLIP social studies curriculum.



And our 2nd graders learned about Mongolian yurts as well as a lesson on Genghis Khan.  They designed their own yurts as part of their project.

These are just a few examples of what our students are learning in the months of October and November!
