No.6: Continuous Lines

The image to the right is an example of a continuous contour line drawing done by a 5th grader. The students were unable to lift their pencils from the paper once they began to draw - talk about challenging! The lesson helped introduce still life, and added to their previous knowledge of line and form.

No.5: Textured Prints

The bulletin board outside the art room displays a handful of multicolored textured prints. The students, using found objects such as cardboard, bubble wrap, feathers, and bottle caps, produced these wonderful abstract faces. The third and fourth graders really enjoyed this project. The experimental element of using common objects intrigued them.
