If you’ve read many of my posts, you’ll know by now that we integrate almost all of our content areas in class. Rarely do we let an opportunity for writing go by, and using our own art is so motivating!
But we do keep it simple! For example, we recently studied the art of Ted Harrison. His colorful but simple images are perfect to study with elementary students.
We completed these pictures as a directed drawing. Students copied my drawing and did such a great job!
Why not try with your students? You can use my examples above drawing the lines on the white board or projector for students to copy. When done they can color and display!
