These are from our second field trip.   After spending a week on Make Way for Ducklings, our co-op visited IWU's Ron Mazellan (who is an illustrator and has illustrated children's books including The Harmonica). 

Mr. Mazellan taught our students about perspective using images from the movie, Ice Age.  Each student was encouraged to draw a picture of the squirrel from the movie, too (see picture of Elijah drawing above).  They were taught to draw by recognizing the different shapes in the animal and simply drawing those shapes; the kids did really well.  Also included in this art lesson was some basics on how to draw shadows and some hands-on experience with real clay.

Who can draw? We can!!!
