Drawing An Animal & Habitat

Students have a lot of choice when it comes to selecting an animal & it's habitat!  This is a great time to bring in some of the science standards, and possibly writing standards.  They can write about their animal and where it lives.  

 

Monster Collage: 1st Grade

I love monsters...aliens...creatures!!!!  Every time the bookmobile came to our village...I'd be the first one on asking for every book they had on the topic!  Sweet memories of staying up late with my dad and watching Star Trek & other crazy shows/movies about such things. As an art teacher...I ADORE ART WORK ABOUT THEM!!!!  Aren't these great!!!  SO UNIQUE!  None of them look like my teacher example...which truly blesses my heart.  Nothing worse than seeing 100 pieces of art that look like little clones of your own.  

Shoe Transformed: 4th Grade

So the 4th graders started by drawing their shoe/boot as is.  They were then asked to transform the shoe/boot into an animal/creature w/ an environment.   They are in progress, but I thought I'd share what they have so far.
