Insect Insanity
Sketch, trace, arrange, color, sculpt and design were all tasks given to our first and second graders as they worked on this fun project that combines science and art. The students looked at artwork by famous artists who have studied insects and who have been inspired to use them in their art. They were asked to invent an insect with all of the standard body parts, but with unique design. They arranged and traced their sketches in a repeated pattern on a large paper to create balance through repetition. They colored their sketches with their own colorful pattern, and those who finished up quickly tried sculpting their insect from modeling clay! These photos from Mrs. Kirshner's class show their creative minds at work.
