smash face

I pinned this lesson (not an active link, please post original source if you have it!)  and just had to have my kids try it! we used my classroom scanner to "smash" their faces on the glass. Students gridded their photos and added value with charcoal. I think they are fantastic!

7th grade owl drawings

I gave students 4 pictures of owls printed on a single sheet of paper in black and white. We made 3x3 inch view finders with construction paper and cropped in to one view of an owl eye. They made 3 thumbnail sketches and the students chose their favorite one. Drawing were scaled up on 9X9 brown bogus paper and shaded with black and white colored pencil and a pop of eye color.
