5th grade: Pointillism Animals

5th Grade students completed their intensive Pointillism lesson. They worked for many weeks on this lesson, which began by finding a magazine image of an animal.  Next, the image was photocopied and students measured and drew a 1/2" grid on the image.  Next they drew a 1" grid on drawing paper and began drawing their animal.  We discussed value and students created a value scale showing a full range from white to black.  Then the students used markers to copy the lights and darks (on their photocopy) onto their animal drawings. Lastly, students created a background using markers.
