Students were asked to draw a sunshine that represented who they are as a person, or their personality. They had to include things they liked to do, as well as colors that made them feel good on the inside. Both of these designs were made by boys in the third grade.
After viewing the artwork, "The Figure 5 in Gold" by American artist, Charles Demuth, students created their own "number" artwork based on their own lucky number. They tried to guess Mrs. Woodham's favorite number too! Enjoy the examples. Their background color had to be any color or design that was not in a primary color. They then painted their favorite number yellow. We discussed how primary colors "pop out" when they are set against other colors.
In Kindergarten and First Grade, we read, "Harold and the Purple Crayon". It was a little long, but students love to know what Harold chooses to draw next! We then, decided it would be neat to draw our own adventures. Some adventures were truly adventurous! Some students view an adventure as going to the park or even Disney World, but others view it as fighting dragons! I love the imaginations of children. It is truly a blessing to teach them everyday.
