Preschool: Students are increasing their fine motor skills while creating a “Mosaic”.

A mosaic is a piece of art or image made from the assemblage of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It is often used in decorative art or as interior decoration. Most mosaics are made of small, flat, roughly square, pieces of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae.

 

Kindergarten:

The students had the opportunity to learn about photography and the artist Bentley. The book we read outloud was titled ‘Snowflake Bentley”. Afterwards, they created snowflakes using scissors and paper. This helped strengthen their fine motor skills.

 

First: Students learned the basic concepts of the elements of art especially texture by using the technique of mosaic art. They learned historical and cultural backgrounds of mosaic art.

Life And Dignity Of The Human Person

The Catholic Church  proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is  the foundation of a moral vision for society. This belief is the foundation of  all the principles of our social teaching. In our society, human life is under  direct attack from abortion and euthanasia. The value of human life is being  threatened by cloning, embryonic stem cell research, and the use of the death  penalty. The intentional targeting of civilians in war or terrorist attacks is always wrong. Catholic teaching also calls on us to work to avoid war. Nations must protect the right to life by finding increasingly effective ways to prevent conflicts and resolve them by peaceful means. We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/catholic-social-teaching/life-and-dignity-of-the-human-person.cfm
