Cows and Basic shapes

Bucktown's 1st graders learned how to combine basic shapes to create full images. Students learned that ALL objects can be broken down into basic shapes to make it easier to draw.

Dinosaur Landscape

Bucktown 3rd graders learned about background, middle ground and foreground. They know objects in the background are TINY, things in the middle ground are medium sized and things in the foreground are HUGE.
Check out their prehistoric landscapes!

Fancy Zebras

Just like the cows, 1st and 2nd graders learned to draw a zebra out of basic shapes, because as they know, you can draw ANYTHING out of basic shapes. Then they colored them in whatever way they desired. Enjoy!

Funky Cows

In 1st and 2nd grade we learn that we can draw ANYTHING by breaking things down into basic shapes. That is exactly how we learned how to draw these cows. Then students were able to color them however they wanted!

I just love the eye shadow and eye lashes on this cow!

Kinder Tortugas!

We read the book Manana Iguana by Ann Whitford Paul, which was in English and Spanish:
We discussed different characters and what they looked like and what shapes made up their bodies. We reviewed the terms pattern and line and students drew their own versions of Tortuga with patterns and lines in the shell. Enjoy!

Giant Squids

1st and 2nd grade learned how to draw BIG after reading I'm the Biggest thing in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry.

Here are their gigantic results:
