1/2 If the Dinosaurs Came Back - Illustrated collages

 

If the Dinosaurs Came Back

Illustrated Collages by the First and Second Grade Classes

    If the Dinosaurs Came Back: Most, Bernard: 9780152380212: Amazon.com: Books

 

Do you notice the lines in the illustrations? (zig-zag, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, wavy….)

 

We read the book, If the Dinosaurs Came Back. We noticed the illustrations and the rectangular buildings and windows. This created an opportunity to practice the lines we have learned in Art so far. We noticed: wavy, zig-zag, diagonal, vertical, horizontal, dotted and dashed lines in the illustrations.

Next we discussed, observed and drew a CityScape for our background with Sharpie. Some children chose to add color with paints, crayons or pastels.

 DINOSAUR COLLAGE

Students drew and designed their own dinosaurs to live in foreground of their CityScape. They chose a paper color and glue to create their collage. Some artists added more details (and more lines, shapes and patterns) with Sharpie.
