Reading self-portraits, clay snails, and much more!

Lesson Background: There are many winter fox art projects online such as this one http://littledogartblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/5th-grade-winter-fox-paintings.html I combined lots of ideas to create these foxes. This was a directed drawing lesson. Directed drawing (i.e. modelling step-by-step) elicits great discussions, exposing students to vocabulary they encounter in art and maths. Students are hearing and putting into action phrases such as “half way down the page”, “curved line”…

Second grade art students will love expressing their creativity with these cool projects, like clay snails, string-pull painting, and more.
