Mind Maps

Colored pencil

The fifth graders create a silhouette self-portrait with a map of their interior thoughts. These mind minds reflect the activities, personal beliefs, and thoughts that express each student's individuality.

Visual Puns

Digital  media

The fifth graders explored language and imagery while they created visual puns. They brainstormed words and phrases that have multiple interpretations and based their sketch off of these concepts. Then, they uploaded their sketches into a digital application, Pixie to digitally add color, shade, and texture to their drawings.
