This is Natacia and the portrait of her that her uncle drew when she was younger. How do you like the train he painted for her?

Sorry for the reflection on the glass of the portrait.

Excellent, Hailey!

Third Grade's Overlapping Design

Before the third graders make their overlapping anthropomorphic initials, they are learning how to overlap. This lesson teaches about space like their landscapes in an earlier post. Overlapping shows subjects that are in front and behind.

Trace tape several times.

No overlap yet!

Erase lines that are behind or carefully skip over the lines in front to create the illusion of overlapping.

Working hard!

And look at the cool results!

Fourth Grade's Sharpie Drawings

Using wire, scissors, hole punches, sticks, paper, and hands the kindergarteners made marvelous mobiles.

Families

The first graders are just starting drawings of their families. Look at these artists at work.

3rd Grade Landscapes

The third graders worked hard on thier landscapes. You can see them going through the process of developing space....what is close and what is far away. The subjects that are at the bottom of the paper is the space closest to the viewer and as your eye travels up the page the space gets farther away.
