Line Dancing

3rd Graders learned about line and variation. They learned that there are infinite ways to draw a line by varying the size, length, direction and thickness of a line. This project was also a collaborative project where students worked as table teams and needed to make sure 1 main line ran through all projects and as a group had to decide on a common color for the main line; it was very democratic! Check em out, they look pretty sweet all together!

Perspective Cities

6th and 7th graders of the Wisconsin Badger enrichment group created their own cities using the perspective drawing method. Perspective is the idea that things get smaller as they are further from us and that things appear 3-d. This is not any easy way of drawing and students practiced and practiced to get it right. Below you will see cities from a traditional perspective, bird's eye perspective or 2-point perspective.

Second Graders Miss Summer!

In second grade we learned about the term self-portrait. After talking about facial and body proportions (pretty advanced stuff for 2nd graders) we gave the project a twist by making them underwater portraits. We looked at the photography of Sarah Lee to make some predictions on how we might look different underwater.
