Patterns in nature with Grade 1 and 2's


The Level two students have worked extremely hard this term on drawing patterns in nature. They stated the term by going on a nature hunt and collecting their own treasures to draw when they got back to class. They were instructed to pay close attention to the patterns they could see on their objects that they found. They drew these using magnifying glasses.

After doing a few studies they then moved on to drawing shells focusing on patterns and lines. I may be biased but the quality of drawings from these 6 and 7 year olds is incredicble!!







These sketches were meant to be preparatory sketches for a large scale sketch of the same shell but the were so good we mounted them and displayed as they were. They then moved on to drawing the same shell in large scale drawing them on A2 paper. These they coloured to finish. 

I am so proud of my hardworking very keen and creative students.


















We then moved on zentangles which I have never done before. They were great fun and the students loved 
them!! After having so much practice drawing patterns over the previous activities this came easily.
