Look what 1st and 2nd grade are doing in Art this quarter

My 1st and 2nd graders have been introduced to observational drawing this quarter.  They were asked to draw their shoes from a close up detailed perspective.  The practiced and practiced until they became comfortable with the subject matter.  We then looked at the book "The Ant Bully" and brainstormed what it would look like to be an ant or bug with our shoe in the picture.  Everything had to be magnified to a larger than life scale.  Steps: draw their shoe onto a 12x18 [piece of watercolor paper, draw magnified background, outline with sharpie pen, color with pan watercolor, add detail with colored pencils.  I think they are doing a great job!!!! still in progress.

 

I'll post more as they are finished.
