I am an art teacher in a rural school district and I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of the students I teach. When I first started this blog many years ago I had more time to write and over the last few years I haven't posted as much. Public education has been changing and I hope to offer some encouragement and support to others during the coming months. Thanks for checking in.
We have been learning to sketch in 2nd grade art, but most of the time our sketches are pretty simple. During the last week of school, Mrs. Marx's 2nd grade class came to art and we decided to sketch a photograph of a clownfish. We started by drawing the contour edge to get the basic shape, then we added structure lines and finally we added pattern and shading! These are amazing sketches!
