Genres of Art, Day 2

Do Now: What do you think would happen if you were holding 100 balloons?

Students finished their portrait/still life/landscape pictures from last class, then had two choices: they begin a portrait, or being a still life.

If students chose to make a still life, they studied an arrangement in the middle of their desk. If they chose to make a portrait, they could draw someone in the room, or choose a photograph from a magazine. 

Though it is very tricky to draw things from observation rather than imagination, the 3rd and 4th graders showed a great deal of determination.
