2nd grade treasure chests done another way.

Students at one of my schools had used chalk pastels to create their treasure chests, and students at my other school learned how to shade with pencil to create theirs. We started with a value scale and then colored our papers after drawing the treasure chest and details. Students used glitter to create the treasure. I love the contrast between the glitter and the pencil drawings!

Second grade work:

3rd grade falling portraits

We used an 18 x 24" sheet of paper to trace our hands and shoes. Next we added a head and body and colored. Next week we will add backgrounds. I'm so excited to see what the students come up with, already they are talking about drawing trampolines and people bungie jumping and floating in outer space! So fun.

Third grade work in progress:

5th grade Radial Designs

Students started in the center of a square paper and made the same design in the shape of a plus sign. They then built outward adding detail and being careful to rotate the paper as they went to keep the symmetry. Next week students will use plastic wrap and water color to color the background.

Fifth grade work in progress:

Pastel Treasure Chests

Second grade learned about forms (3D shapes). They drew and colored treasure chests and backgrounds with chalk pastel. The following week the students added glitter and sequens to make their treasure.

Second grade work:

Third grade castles

Students created a background for their castles and glued on a folded castle to give it a 3D look.
