Fish Tanks/Perspective
I've been talking about overlapping and showing "space" in your work with my second graders. We created fish tanks that had a defined corner to create a bottom, side, and back to the tank. I was not looking for mastery as this is a new concept to them. I was just introducing the idea. We used watercolor pencils to finish the work.
YOU ARE GOING TO NOTICE IN SOME OF THE PICTURES THE VERTICAL LINE IS VERY CURVED. THAT IS BECAUSE THE PAPER CURLED WHEN IT DRIED & I DIDN'T FLATTEN IT OUT BEFORE SNAPPING THE PICTURE! ha ha

9th ANNUAL ART WITH MR. E SUMMER WORKSHOP
What are you creating?
The kids seem to LOVE dino nuggies! Don't know what they are? They make chicken nuggets in the shape of dinosaurs. Yes...it's a thing!! ha ha There are shirts, earrings, pushies, pillows...a whole dino nuggie industry! I've wanted to make my own pushies/pillows, but it took awhile to find a fabric I thought would work(Dollar Tree...imagine that!?!). I made a pattern to the size of the fabric, cut them out, sewed them together, and stuffed them. It went relatively quick, and I had a lot of fun doing it! A friend saw my post on facebook, and asked if I could make her class (she teaches EE/Special Ed) one. They like to hold something during share time. I gladly gave her one of the dino nuggies! Happy to know it will be loved & used in a school setting!
