Our Jack-O-Lanterns are symmetrical. They are exactly the same on both sides.
We used exaggerated facial features to create many emotions. They are happy, sad, scary, goofy, amused and just plain strange. J
Did you know that you can make any image symmetrical by only drawing one side? Ask a 4thgrader to show you how!
We discussed the roles of authors and illustrators for books and movies.
Many great characters started as words on a page.
For this project, we took turns being authors and illustrators. As an author, we wrote a very detailed description of our imagined monster. As an illustrator, we turned someone else’s words into an image of that monster.
Did you know that there are many authors who illustrate their own books?
We read and discussed “Where the Wild Things Are ” written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.
There are patterns throughout the book that repeat, repeat, repeat. Our Wild Things have patterns too.
Our Wild Things are not gory or mean- they just want to have a good time. They smile and dance. Some even eat pizza!
We read and discussed the book “Where the Wild Things Are”, written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.
We used texture rubbing plates and crayons to create the illusion of texture on our original wild things. Texture is the way something feels.
Our Wild Things come in many shapes and sizes but they would never eat us up! They just like to have fun.
“Let the wild rumpus start!”
