So Surreal

5th graders learned about surrealism and the 4 elements: Fantasy, Dream-like, Opposites and Exaggeration. Students had the task of taking unrelated magazine clippings and creating a surreal image using at least 2 of the elements discussed. These results are the best I've ever gotten in the 3 years Ive done this project!

5th grade observation drawings

Halloween was over and 5th graders and I still needed our sugar fix. Their job was to draw their candy zoomed in (larger than life) and with much detail. It was great to see students looking so closely at their candy and not eating it! The results are sweet and delicious!

Scribbles to Characters doodle

Students in grades 3-5 began the year with a creative project where there turned scribbled nonsense into characters. Students began by making lines and shapes on a page. They were then given a pair of eyeballs drawn on trace paper and placed the eyeballs in each shape to find characters. Students then added details like mouths, arms, jewelry and speech bubbles. Their final designs turned out awesome and were super creative! Enjoy!
