My parents retired to northeast Iowa - yes Iowa. :) They live on 19 acres of land out in the rolling countryside. On a few of those acres they have planted a prairie - always wonderful photo inspiration.

In our last week of summer classes, my students and I traveled around the world in 5 days. We kept our artwork to 5x7 inches - a lit bit bigger than a post card. It was exciting to imagine flying around the globe. I loved seeing the confidence grow as the kids approached drawing a variety of subjects within the week. There's more to see! Click on each image to the students' work from each continent: THE AMAZON RAINFOREST in SOUTH AMERICA Using colored pencil, creating a foreground, middle ground and background & mixing a variety of greens.  Danny, age 9 FAMOUS LANDMARKS in EUROPE Constructing a building out of basic shapes before looking closer for details. Pen & Ink.  Eric, age 7 THE GREAT BARRIER REEF in AUSTRALIA (aerial view) Drawing one line at a time - looking at where the line starts and where it finishes. Looking for light and dark values & mixing blues and greens.  Ella, age 7 A SAFARI in AFRICA Building an animal with basic shapes. Comparing sizes and adding details. Creating light and dark values with pencil.  Kai, age 9 The HIMALAYAS in ASIA The same drawing approach as The Great Barrier Reef: one line at a time. Drawn on black paper with white colored pencil. Students chose between colored pencil and tempera paint to mix their colors.  Matthew, age 7 |
