My fifth graders loved this project. They were so excited to see them displayed in the hallway. This lesson is a simple way to teach foreshortening to kids. To begin, students traced their hands and feet. After this, students drew an oval for their head. Then students drew in the arms and legs. We colored these with oil pastels. I had the students cut these out and glue them to black paper. On the black paper, students painted stars and planets.
I found this very awesome project on Oodles of Art. I just love the results!
these are so cute and colorful! I love them!
