This week and the first three days of next week the students here at Highland will be creating a variety of Christmas ornaments. Because they have been studying about Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker" in music class, many of the grade levels will be making their own versions of a nutcracker. They will include the art core content standards of line, shape, form, color, texture, value and space. They will also include the principles of contrast, emphasis, balance and repetition in their creations. Below are some of the various nutcrackers they have created.
