Y'all....I'm so proud of these 5th graders! They're my first class of the day, and have been a joy to have in the morning. These past few weeks, we've been working on a project that I haven't tried in a few years, but I'm glad we visited it again! Thanks for the idea Mrs. Rogers! The students take their name, or name of choice, write it once and trace it 7 more times to create this neat and unique work of art! Here's how we created ours! Materials: Pencils Sharpies Crayola Markers or colored pencils 9x9" 50 or 60lb paper Day 1: I show examples of other 5th graders' work, and then I demonstrate how to make block and bubble letters. I used the leftover scraps from cutting their squares for them to practice making block letters on. After we practice, we fold our paper in half 4 times, and write our name in one of the triangle sections of the paper, and trace with a Sharpie. I then fold my paper, and trace my name on the next triangle. I trace that with a Sharpie, and I continue tracing and folding my paper different ways, until I get back to the original name. Once I get all of that traced with a Sharpie, I'm ready to color! Color each section at a time, using the same color to unify that layer. Keep coloring until yours looks like these amazing artists! (This took 2 45 minute art classes to complete) Here are some great works in progress! DISCLOSURE: LINKS TO PRODUCTS ARE AFFILIATE LINKS, WHICH MEANS I GET A SMALL COMPENSATION FOR SALES.
