Artwork..

Hello again,
I took some photos of some artwork from the year one classrooms today. The kids have done an amazing job. They are portraits of their grandparents, and of grandparents from picture books. I thought I'd share. Kids can do amazing things when helped. It's like when you scaffold their learning you have no idea what they might produce. Yay for Vygotsky - ZPD.
The first two are portraits of Miss Nancy from a book. The next two are portraits of "our grandparents". drawn with pencil and pastels, then newspaper is scrunched up behind it and it is put on a black background. Great effect! The last two are continuous line drawings of "our grandparents".

Kids are incredible. I should share Fred's poem from my prac class on here one day soon. But I am in bed now, sleepy Jen. Glad to be going to sleep in a minute.

P.s. went to the movies tonight to see step up. It was great. I wish I was a dancer. Thanks Bec, Sarah, Moni and Jackie for accompanying me!!
