First Graders read the story Where the Wild Things Are
by Maurice Sendak. We then examined the
illustrations and noticed that the Wild Things resembled many different
animals. Using this as inspiration,
students drew their own wild things. We
then examined the textures we found in the illustrations and compared them to
the textures of different animals.
Students discussed the difference between an actual texture and a visual
one. We discussed how to use lines and shape
to create our own visual textures that reminded us of different animals. After applying textures to their work
students used watercolors to add color to their creature!
