Pop-up books- in progress!

3rd graders are working on a unit with the central idea "artists can use their imagination to invent ideas for their art."  The unit is all about using your imagination to be innovative!  Here they were shown the "mouth" pop up technique.  They all used their imagination to invent a character to go with the mouth pop up. They will be making 4 pages total and then bind it into a book.   I will post the products later

Sketchbooks

My students keep sketchbooks for practice drawing exercises, free draws, vocabulary, etc.  As we finished the trimester, I was able to go through sketchbooks and assess the cumulative document.  These are drawings of 1st and 2nd graders.  WOW!
