PYSANKY EGGS    Ukrainian  Designs   ·        At Easter time, Unkrainian women make decorated eggs called Pysanky. ·        The eggs are brightly colored, and covered with intricate designs and traditional symbols. ·        The designs are handed down from mother to daughter over many generations. ·        Each egg is unique and specially designed for the person receiving it. ·        My second grade art students have designed their own Pysanky eggs and these have done an exceptional job.

4^th Grade Art

Comic Grid

Enlargements

               

 

 

     After choosing one frame from a comic strip, my fourth grade art students drew a grid over their cartoons.  They then drew a larger grid with 1” squares on an 11” x 18” sheet of white drawing paper.  Following the comic strip grid, they proceeded to reproduce the drawing square by square.  They were forced to really look at each part of the comic strip to figure out how to enlarge their own drawing and make it look real.

Fifth Grade Art – Extended Christmas Cards

 

    

 

     

 

   

 

  Each student chose a Christmas card, placed it in the center of their paper then problem-solved to figure out how the picture would look, extended beyond the card’s edges.  These students’ projects were chosen to represent their classes as highly successful solutions.
