Dragon's Eyes with Grade Five: In-Progress

Fifth graders have been recently learning about the mythological creature of the dragon, which has been used in a variety of fairy tales and folklore stories. As a class, we compared and contrasted the two major types of dragons (eastern and western) and found some interesting preferences! Students then created their own dragon eye complete with a variety of shapes and designs. To focus on a range of techniques, we have been developing our skills in cross-hatching with Sharpies as well as the wet on wet technique using watercolor washes. We cannot wait for you to see the finished results!
