The students in
fourth grade learned about the amazing wild animals
that live on the continent of Africa. We
studied pictures and video clips of these amazing animals in their natural
habitats. The students then drew the
animal of their choosing using a sketch technique of short, line lines. Students also included aspects of the animal's natural habitat. They finished their pictures by adding color
using colored pencils. These pictures are
to represent the photos one might take on a real African safari trip. To help showcase their drawings the students
also learned about the Ndebele people of South Africa and Zimbabwe. This group of people live in a beautiful yet
harsh environment. A big part of
Ndebele’s culture involves the decorating or enhancing of the world around them
by painting colorful geometric based designs on things such as their homes and clothing. To create their Ndebele inspired picture
frames, students used the medium of pencil and pastel.
