Sketch 2

My sketch is of flowers. I used different lines to create texture and overlapping of the leaves and petals for depth. As an extension project the class could grow their own flowers then draw them after they bloom.

Sketch 1

In our sketch book I drew a barn with a mountain snow top scene behind it. For an extension project students could do a Languague Arts lesson about writing about something that means the most to them and why they drew it.

Scrapbooking

In this project we scrapbooked some pictures. I chose to use two of them that I had from when I was little and playing on the playground. An extension to this could be a in Langauge Arts where the students could right a story about the picture.

Pastels

In this project we blended colors with pastels. We took paper towels or our finger to blend in the colors. We did one with volume of a shape and then the final one with a landscape picture. As an extension project the students could make their picture about what they see when traveling in a car and then right a story about a vacation they took and tell what they saw out the window.

Printmaking

In this lesson in printmaking we made holiday cards. We took stryofoam and made a design and then rolled ink onto in and printed it to our cards. As an extension project the students could write letters to someone special about what the holiday means to them and then send it to them.

Garden Stepping Stones

In this project we made stepping stones. We could use anything that could be but in cement. I put in a picture of my parents and I at my confirmation. As an extension project we could do some math problems to do measurement of shapes and other objects.

Creating Comic Strips

In this project we created a 6 slide comic strip. I created a hungry ant and how he became full. We also talked about line and face expression. An extension on this could be in Language Arts as a story that is written in many pages and then pictures also.
