Inspired by the Swedish Illustrator Rosalind Monks students for this unit focused on learning new materials while mastering some known materials such as scissors. Using gold scratchboard and a metal stylus students remade an image of an insect making sure to get detail and an enlarged etching. Using three values of black on an illustration of a Maine scene students painted in empty space to get the look of dark to medium to light. The results are quite beautiful.

3rd Grade: Zentangle Landscapes

12/15/2021

Students learned about simple lines to create a landscape of their choosing with a foreground, middle ground and background. Framed in with a border students were put to the task of creating various line designs, patterns and for one section a Zentangle, which is a popular art form that both calms and puts one into a balanced state. One of the best coloring materials for construction paper is construction crayons, which produce the color you see and have magnificent blending opportunities. Students were challenged to color in one area switching colors each time they came to a line.
