Snowman Portraits

3rd and 5th graders did CLOSE-UP portraits of snowmen.  I asked them to give their snowmen emotion and some students even added a story plot!  Making me proud as usual :)

Tyeana was the only student to have her snowman lying down!  He even has an igloo on his belly!

Back to Drawing!! Grades 1-5

We are back in school! Our first project was decorating the cover to our sketchbook. This year's group colors are orange, purple and green. Every class had the same guidelines of wavy line in middle, box on the wavy line, sun by their name as well of a zig-zag line, spirals and other shapes. Even with the same guidelines, everyone's unique style shined through!!
On the back side they had option of free draw and writing their name in different styles. Here are some of my favorites:

Our Snowy Day

After experiencing our own very snowy day (Chicago's Blizzard of 2011!), the Kindergardeners- 2nd graders made artwork inspired by Ezra Jack Keat's "The Snowy Day". I supplied them with the cut-out of Peter in 3 different poses. They painted the snow and used snowflake stamps.
