Welcome to Art Class at B. Bernice Young School!
Virtual Learning Week 8: BUILD IT WEEK
Last year I visited the Vessel in NYC. This interactive art structure was built by Thomas Heatherwick in 2019 as part of the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project. Today you'll become a builder as you construct a castle, city, or house using various boxes and other supplies.
When you complete your art project please email me a photo of your artwork and include your child's name and classroom teacher's name.
If you have any questions or concerns please email Mr. Giannetto.
Please follow me on Facebook: Young School Art with Mr. Giannetto
Weekly Optional Art Challenge:
What does Burlington Township mean to me?
Draw a picture and write a bit about what you love most about Burlington Township. Think about the people, the schools, and the places that make up our community. Email me a photo of your work so I can share it with Young School families and staff.
Congratulations Young School Artists!
I'm so proud of all my students who have been creating fantastic artwork at home! Here's a shoutout to Young School's Distance E-Learning Star Students of the week!

Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd Grade Building Activity
Your child may pick one of the following building activities to complete this week. I have suggested a list of supplies, but please use whatever you have available at home. These art activities incorporate STEAM Learning and Creative Play with art at home. Each activity also includes modifications for your child's age and ability level.
STEAM Learning
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) exploration boosts the development of critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, hands-on learning, and creative thinking.
Creative Play
Playing is learning! Creative play is relaxed, flexible, and encourages freedom through trial and error. Let self-expression and your imagination take over.
Please pick one of the following building choices:
1. Build a Castle
2. Build a City
3. Build a House
Suggested Materials: cardboard boxes, shoe boxes, cereal boxes, construction paper, glue, markers, masking tape, paper tubes, straws, and other items you have at home.

The photos below are from some cities I've visited around the world. Can you find NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, New Orleans, Barcelona, and Paris?
