This week's lesson finishes up our work with plants. See the other projects here and here!
Students practiced being "scientific illustrators." These people are artists who are also scientists! Scientific illustrators are the people who draw diagrams in science textbooks, medical journals, and other informational texts. They help us understand how the world works! In today's activity, students needed to focus as much on looking as they did on drawing. I wanted them to forget every other flower drawing they had ever made, and instead, to really SEE the flower or plant that was in front of them. I wanted the students to look with fresh eyes and notice every single detail. Students chose several plants to study, and we used last week's eco-prints as our backgrounds. The drawings turned out amazing, and it's obvious that the kids were looking closely at details!
