These are some of my favorite projects the 4th graders make. They are so bright and beautiful! We used our knowledge of Rhythm and movement to create the back ground and our knowlegde of proportion to make the figures. Way to go 4th grade!

4th Grade Proportion Studies
The 4th graders are starting a unit studying proportions of the human body. We learned that proportion can be broken down into two words: pro and portion. Pro in this case means "really good" like a professional athlete. Portion means "amount". So proportion means "really good amounts." When we draw proportionately the head is not too big for the body and the arms are not too long, the feet aren't too tiny, etc. When we draw proportionately everything should look realistic because the every part is the right size when compared to another part.
Here are some pictures of us practicing drawing with wooden drawing dudes. We are trying our best to make them in the correct proportions. Nice work 4th graders!
