Roots and Shoots

 


Sample Student Work

Last week we made art about rural life on a farm and made barns and barnyard animals.  This week, we will learn about what grows on a farm!  We will make some fun garden art, and we will think about how plants grow.  Let's start by making a picture that shows what grows UNDER the ground:  root vegetables! 

Watch this video to see how you can draw some root vegetables like carrots, radishes, onions, potatoes, turnips or garlic!

Then, draw a horizontal line across your paper.  ABOVE the line, draw the leaves of your plants, and BELOW the line draw the roots of your plant.  Have you ever eaten any of these types of roots?  What can you add to your picture?  In the sample image I see ants, worms and a butterfly!

Finally, for your last step, paint blue sky ABOVE the middle line and paint brown dirt BELOW your middle line!  

Add your work to ARTSONIA!
