This past month we've been talking a lot about snowman! We spent a lot of time doing some "How To" writing on How to Build a Snowman.
Our latest look at them took place in a story. Together we read the story "Snowmen at Night" and discussed the illustrations. We talked about how the snowmen looked three dimensional even though they were a flat picture on a page. We talked about how shading and using shadows helped turn the circles into spheres. Of course we decided to make our own "Snowmen at Night" illustrations.
Our three criteria for our project were:
1)Snowman (or woman) needed to be doing something.
2) Your snowman (or woman) was the main part of the picture. No tiny, corner snowpeople for us!
3)You had to try shading your snowman (or woman).
We are not quite finished, but they are turning out lovely!
