These were created by some very talented Second Graders. I was first introduced to this lesson by a lovely K-6 Art Teacher whose class I took over as a long term substitute last year. Her version involved more coloring with crayons and painting with watercolors...however she did have the students include a window in the background and corners to indicate a room. While blog surfing I realized that this lesson is quite popular and can be done in a variety of ways so I decided to attempt it myself with the students. Although it is a very involved lesson with multiple steps (about 4-5 sessions) the learning is worth it.
I've been thinking about doing this lesson too. These turned out just beautifully! They did a fantastic job with the backgrounds!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them =o) You should try it when you have the chance; it can be a lot of work (I'm on a cart so it's a lot of supplies to carry around) but the students seemed to enjoy working with a variety of materials.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed with the work of your second graders.
Bravo to your talented students.
