Hmmmm... I seem to be on a penguin theme this year :) The kids love, them, though and always get so excited to draw and paint them. These second grade penguin paintings are turning out great! We have been talking about depth and overlapping. We learned that depth is the amount of space between the front and the back of the picture. Art is so awesome because even though the piece of paper is flat, we can make it feel like there is great depth (a lot of space) between the front and the back. We talked about how overlapping is a way to show depth. When one object hides another, it's called overlapping. I know that the object I can see all of is in front and the object that is partially hidden is in back. The second graders are doing so well at soaking up these concepts, not to mention being perfect penguin painters! :)
