3rd Grade Magic Carpet Rides

3rd grade artists learned about the art and architecture of the Middle East. They studied the process of creating a Middle Eastern carpet and the designs that are often used. They also looked at the styles of architecture that is traditionally used in this region. We watched a fun movie clip from Aladdin and created our own magic carpet ride!

We even got to watch a short clip of the magic carpet ride in the movie Aladdin!

1st grade Middle Eastern Architecture

1st Graders are studying the architecture of the Middle East. They practiced their blending techniques with the watercolor sky and worked hard to put some patterns into their architecture. 

5th grade Middle Eastern Tiles

5th grade artists learned about the tiles that were often used in Middle Eastern architecture. They learned that most of them are geometric or floral in design and are also symmetrical. They created their own tiles by rolling out a clay slab and then carving into them, and adding clay designs using the slip, score, seal method.
