Scardy Cats

My 6's struggle the most with shading. They are still learning to shade smoothly without showing pencil lines so their drawings tend to get lost when they shade. With practice they'll be much better. I'm hoping at least the concept will stick with them even if it takes a long time to master the technique.

We did a warm up of a table and building today going over the value scale and how to use shading to define the different parts of their drawing. Then we jumped into the pumpkin fun park and drew cats riding a pumpkin ride. It was supposed to be a cat sitting in a pumpkin, but all of our cats looked excited like they were holding onto a ride, so we turned it into a pumpkin tilt a whirl ride. I love how our drawings take their own twists and turns from what I had planned.

Look at those cats go!
