Math / Art - In math, we created images using boxes in graph paper. Some students created their own designs while others decided to go for a neat 8-bit, old school video-game choice. They eventually replicated their work on the wall using post-it notes and found the area / perimeter of their work.
Monochromatic colour scene - Students did a great job with this piece, using darker tones on the outside and making the colour lighter as it went towards the middle. They then painted animals over it the following week. Here's our beautiful display board with them!
Textures - Students also learned about how to create different perceived textures in their drawing. Using crayons, they traced various design patterns and coloured over designs in the classroom. There were some very interesting choices used for texture (the agenda, the classroom speakers, and the "in" bin were all used).
