Habitats! Grade 2

1st grade Grassland Animals

Color wheel mixing - 4th Grade

Self Portraits

Self portraits can be tricky...students can get easily frustrated while doing this lesson.  None the less, it's a really important part of the curriculum and the outcome was amazing!  I taught this lesson with grade 3, 4 and 5.  We focused on proportion, color mixing and following the form.   You won't see any kids in my room use a plain brown pencil when coloring their hair.  We mix a whole bunch of different colors to make a RICH color! When we color in our face, we follow the shape of our face instead of coloring in one direction. 

Just Lovely

I am SO  impressed with my second graders.  They blow me away with every project we do.  They are just amazingly creative!!! This is an observational lesson where the students had to look at the flowers and draw what they actually see rather than what they think they see!  We practiced color mixing as well.  The results were just beautiful.
