Here is a small sampling of the writing that evolved from the Skyscraper visualization exercise.
Skyscraper, Skyscraper
Today we used our thinking to connect to words and create a visual image. I read a poem by Dennis Lee, entitled Skyscraper, Skyscraper. As I read the words, the students used visualization to imagine what the author's words meant. Next, we tried a new art medium, oil pastels. The final step was to write what we were thinking or feeling while creating our art piece.
How we Express Ourselves with Lines
This week we studied the art of Paul Klee. He uses lines in interesting ways. Straight, wavy, thick, thin and curved! We were inspired by this idea of using lines to create images that help us to express ourselves. The end results were quite interesting.
