Students divided a 12"x18" sheet of drawing paper into quadrants and used markers and colored pencils to record images that came to mind as they listened to each selection. I am always impressed by the consistency from year to year as 2nd graders recognize themes that are scary, silly, or proud and important-sounding.
The selections:
1. The Gnome
2. Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks
3. Baba Yaga: The Hut on Fowl's Legs
4. The Great Gate of Kiev
Here are some of the results! I encouraged the students to write descriptions of their work, but as we had about 5 minutes to work on each drawing, our spelling was a bit rushed!

Thank you for sharing a terrific idea to use with Pictures at an Exhibition! Now I have an art lesson to tie in as well. Resources like this are invaluable for a homeschooling mom - I appreciate your willingness to share!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have learned so much from other Art Ed blogs that I am happy to share what I can in return!
