You need:
- drawing sheet A4 size
- colour pencils
- coloured paper for background
- magnyfying glass
Give students a magnifying glass and send them out to look how things increase looking through it. How does a blade of grass look through the magnifier? Or tree bark? Leaves? Flowers? Insects?
For this lesson children draw something from nature. Part of the drawing has to be seen through a magnifying glass. This magnifying glass will actually be drawn too. That what is seen through the magnifying glass, has obviously to be much more detailed as the environment.
What a great idea! I love it! I don't take the kids outside much to draw - I used to, when I was in a school with a classroom on the first floor and right near a door. I had a little mini-hill right outside that was perfect for drawing. But I guess I should make more of an effort to do it anyhow. Thanks for the great lesson.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI love this idea! It's a perfect fit for childrens' imaginations! I will definitely try this soon!
