Monday, March 30! Hello, Everyone!!!

How about a fun drawing that can be done by the young ones as well as our upper elementary students? If you have a younger sibling, maybe you could help them out by tracing their hands and feet for them! Your character can be YOU, a family member, or anyone! Depending on how you trace the hands and feet you could make animals, aliens, superheroes, monsters or just about anything you like! Add detail and then add color. This is a great concept: foreshortening. Think of looking at someone laying down and you are at their feet looking toward their face, or from the front of a car over the hood and toward the back. It is kind of hard to do and that is why it looks so cool! If don’t like your first one, try it again. Practice is what make everything easier!

Ideas
"Falling Through Space"- lesson in foreshortening. Have students trace hands and feet then draw body with pastel.  Watercolor background, and ta-da!  5/6th grade

As always- make sure you are doing your schoolwork, get outside for fresh air- bike ride?, walk?, help out around the house and Be Kind!
