A few weeks ago we learned about settings. I used a thorough power point I found on the internet called "Story Settings: How to improve your writing!" Even though its focus was on writing, I was still able to adjust it to apply to creating pictures. It covered creating an atmosphere including things you can hear, touch, taste, and smell. I couldn't load it to my blog, but if you are interested in it, leave a comment and I can send it to you.
We created a mountain setting with a lake and trees, then the students used their imaginations to fill in the rest. Here are some pictures of their work:
This makes so much sense to what I've seen at home! I've seen a lot of mountains drawn in notepads and on chalkboards all over the house. Elizabeth apparently loves the time you're spending with the class. Thanks for helping her grow her skill.
