ART HERO, Jan Hatelberg– Mrs. Brannan's first grade class

Jan Hatelberg amazed Mrs. Brannan's first grade class with her story of Empeor Qin's Terracotta Warriors http://www.terracottawarriorexhibit.com/ . Jan visited the site in China on a trip last year and showed us all her photos and share her wonderful tale. The chlidren imagined what type of super power they would use to protect Emperour Qin and picked a word to represent that. The practiced making facial expressions and the used that muscle memory to sculpt that expression in the clay. Once the pieces were fired, the children used colorful acrylic paint to finish the pieces and further express the power word they represent. We hope you enjoy the stories that go along with the "Hero Warrior Mask" that each child has written to go along with their art.
