Gracie’s drawing: The construction area is actually behind the slack line, and Gracie said, “I don't know how to add it.” She also edited her mushroom table [bottom righthand corner] because she drew the "legs" to the table, which you cannot actually see from the bird's eye view. Adaline's Drawing: There was discussion between Elyse and Adaline about how she could not fully see the slack line because it was blocked by a tree. She noted that the tree looked like “zig zags”, so she drew the tree over the slack line. Noting these challenges, we wanted to offer different opportunities for still-life drawings to draw attention to Details/perspective, drawing what we see and not just what we know or imagine, and to consider layout and spatial awareness. Above, you can see Caroline drawing one of the plants from the Brown Room. [some still-life drawings are displayed in the room] We also asked ourselves: How many ways could they familiarize themselves with these structures that we are trying to remember/memorialize? The children suggested building it out of blocks, and you can see here that they are using images of the climber to support their work. Again, we asked them to consider the details, lines, shapes, materials, layout, etc. Please take some time to look at the drawings, conversations and brainstorming that are hanging up in the classroom. You are always welcome to take things down from the board -- the children's thoughts and work are amazing!
