Library Design Expo
Tufts library asked the kids of Weymouth to submit design ideas for a new library. The town wants to know what the kids really want in a library. I thought this is a great idea and wanted to give the challenge to 3rd grade class. We talked about floor plans and how an architect would draw plans for a room. The rest was really up to their imagination. They greatly surpassed any expectations I had for the creativity of ideas. After two weeks of drawing the final drawings are now on display at Tufts Library until the end of the week. The "real" architects working on drawing plans for a new library have looked over the students drawing for insight and inspiration.
Anthony also did a 3D Lego design at the exhibit.
Pen and Ink Drawing
These old style fountain pens and ink is one of the best items purchased for the art room. Every year the students get excited about trying them out. They really see just how difficult it was before the invention of the ball point pen. This week the 5th grade just gave it a try and did different types shading technics.
Color Mixing with Tissue Paper
K2 worked on mixing colors and transparency with colored tissue paper.
Once it was dry they added black trees using construction paper.
Drawing Reflection
We had some time left in class this week so I did a quick lesson on drawing a sailboat with it's reflection in water. The first grade students used oil pastel to draw the first boat on the fold line. After that they folded the paper and rubbed it so the pastel would transfer to the other side. This was the guide for them to draw the mirror image of the boat. Last they added the water on top.
