First graders are practicing floral landscapes and even using a little bit of chance! We roll the dice to figure out which flower parts to draw. We made sure to use lines, patterns, and creativity! These "Roll-A" sheets can be found at this web site: http://expressivemonkey.com/collections/flowers/products/drawing-flowers
Hello! I just found your blog today and it is AMAZING! Although I am not an art teacher, I love doing art with my two children. :)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find the directions for this activity? Did you make them yourself?
Thank you! and I am so happy to hear that you are doing art with your kids at home. To find the dice directions, just google "Roll a flower" and it comes right up. There are many "Roll-a" sheets just like it!
DeleteBeautiful! I love it too and would love the template for the roll and draw. I teach first grade and the kids would love this for an end of year project.

ReplyDeleteHey! I just came across your blog online and was tickled to see you are a fellow Calvin Alum teaching Art. You share some fantastic ideas here on your blog. Thank you! Are you also on Artsonia? I am starting year 10 at my current school and all success I have as an art teacher I credit to Calvin's art ed program! :) Nice to meet you in cyberspace. :) -christine Patete
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you as well! Sorry for the delay! :) Yes, Calvin rocks. Did you have JoAnn Van Reewyk as a professor? She was amazing.
DeleteWe do not currently do Artsonia but do Square 1 instead.
Best wishes to you!
Love this idea and cant wait to give it a try, thanks!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
DeleteWow...where can I get a copy of the reference sheets the kids are using?

ReplyDeleteI ran across one of your pictures on Pinterest. It's so fun to find people that like using my drawing games and your students' flowers are wonderful! I've got a new website that has even more drawing activities to choose from. Here is where you can find the Wild Flowers along with a couple of other flower drawing pages. http://expressivemonkey.com/collections/flowers/products/drawing-flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating such a fun sheet! I'll add your webpage to my blog post! :)
DeleteThank you, Mrs. Teitsma, that would be fantastic!
DeleteOh, and I just had to share on my FB page :-) https://www.facebook.com/ExpressiveMonkey !!
