Students from Dandridge Elementary recently
finished a 6 week unit on The Lost City of
Atlantis. Using a basis of Greek Roman literature, the
unit began with an introduction of Poseidon and King
Neptune. We talked about the philosopher, Plato, and his
"stories". Students viewed diagrams of what Atlantis
really would have looked like. The art teacher is
Mrs. Gill and a sample of student work is on display at
Central Office. Students were genuinely inspired by
these fascinating, legendary figures. Fifth grade
students created their Mermaids and Mermen by a series
of steps: constructing their wire figure skeleton, using
plaster wrap to form the body, painting the figure,
adding tissue paper to the wood block for dimension, and
then finishing it up with facial features and final
details.
Other grade levels used chalk, colored pencils,
markers, and scratch art paper to portray
this underwater world...more
