2nd Grade: Rainbows and Haiku Poems

Rainbows and Haiku Poems

Second graders created oil pastel artwork depicting an abstract landscape.  Students looked at a variety of landscape artwork.  They compared realistic landscapes with abstract landscapes.  Next students drew repeated lines to create their own abstract landscape and used oil pastels to create a day or night scene.  Lastly, students learned about the Japanese style of poetry called Haiku, which is made up of three simple lines.  Each line must follow the Haiku formula, which consists of counted syllables.  The first line contains 5 syllables, the second line contains seven, and the third line contains five.
