Inspired By Matisse

Inspired by Matisse this week students created some amazing bird images by cutting and pasting paper. They also included wonderful organic shaped borders to their frames.
Enjoy the holiday weeks to come and all the snowy fun that you can!

Snowmen! Near, Far and In Between!

Today we used an imaginary telescope to zoom in on a snowman. I read the book All You Need For a Snowman by Alice Schertle. We looked closely at the illustrations and talked about pattern as well as foreground, middle and background.Students drew three different snowman pictures using colored pencil demonstrating near, far and in between!
