Merry Christmas

I hope Christmas was great for everyone. I had fun celebrating with my family and the birth of Jesus. 2014 here we come!

So second grade has finished up their scratch art part 1 and part 2 projects.

3D and Shading

As we end the nine weeks I decide to do one more 3D project with my second graders. I taught them how to shade the design. I explain why we use shading in certain drawings and how to create designs with using curve lines

Kindergarten Perspective

I just love doing these landscapes with the kindergartners. We might as well end the nine weeks with a bang.

Radial Symmetry

I have decided to finish out the nine weeks with a radial symmetry lesson. The first graders learned about radial symmetry through a slide show and examples. After that we went over how to create a radial design. They did a fantastic job.

Student Work

 I love it when the students bring in work

Down the road

We are almost done with the 2nd nine weeks and the Fifth Grade perspective drawings are just about complete. They have been working so hard. I also had them practice for several weeks.

Floating Spheres

Third grade has practice these spheres long enough. This year I have decided to let them practice a little more. I also missed 3 weeks with them so this project will be the only one we get to for this nine weeks.

 These are mine. Teacher example

 Lots of practice
