Here's a sneak peek at what second grade has been working on. . . family portraits! This project is a second grade tradition and will be featured at their Art Show coming up in December!

Second grade's next major project will be family portraits, which we'll start in a couple of weeks. To prepare, students have been practicing drawing faces! Each student had a dry-erase face template and I encouraged them to try LOTS of different kinds of faces.
Our focus for this activity was on drawing from observation- drawing how things really look, instead of how we think they look. Students had mirrors to observe their own faces, as well as sample drawings to learn from. I am SO proud of how hard my kindergartners worked on this project! This activity is designed to be a skill-builder rather than to end in a completed project. Students were to use paper and scissors to construct a face. The first goal of this activity was to practice using scissors and to strengthen fine motor skills. The second goal was to prepare kids to tackle our the next project, which involves creating a face in a whole different way!
Here are just a few of the creations! |
