Not Your Average Picasso

Every time I draw something in class I begin by reminding the kids that I am not a very good drawer and that they might have to pretend that it looks like a (insert object here). On Friday we were talking about the beach (which is kind of funny as that is what we ended up picking as our whole week them this week--oh well!) and we were reading a book about going to the beach. It talked about building a sandcastle, so I drew this on the board so the kids could understand a little more what it was talking about. I would have to say that it didn't come out that bad and it really does look like a sandcastle (now the shells are another story :D)

Family Crests

Because we were talking about families last week we talked about family crests and got to design our own (Yuling told me that most people have no clue who their family is and they don't have anything like family crests so it was a little difficult to describe to them...oh well). This is only one class, but it has taken way too much time to upload this many and I'm too tired...I may go back some other time and add more. There is a wide range of what people did, you have from complete scribbles and coloring to people who actually drew things that they liked or were interested in and used their favorite colors.
