In pairs, students draw pictures of monsters, then write descriptive paragraphs. The paragraphs are e-mailed between classrooms. The receiving students draw from the descriptive paragraphs, and those drawings are scanned and exchanged electronically. Written descriptions are sent to partner classes, and receiving students attempt to duplicate the art works from the descriptions. Art is electronically exchanged and compared to the original works for detail and accuracy.
Students study and work on self portraits, then write a descriptive passage to describe their face.
Following the same process, students exchange and compare each other's portraits. Return to Monsters, Mondrian, and Me index. This page maintained by Lucinda Surber . This site was launched October 6, 1996. All Rights Reserved.
