5th Grades Technology Self Portraits

During the first nine weeks fifth graders created wonderful black and white self- portraits. Using their own original drawings, over the last several months they have been creating Photoshop Element Technology Portraits. 

Here are a few more close up...

Here's a look at the toolbox layout.

Don't watch the whole tutorial just skip around and to see the program they were using.

CLAY!!!!

Last week every student did CLAY In Mrs. Tice's classes!

Here are just a few examples: 

 Second grade created their own fabulous fish! 

Kindergarten Made Pinch pot bug bodies and shoe prints...

First grade made magnificent owls!

Fifth grade made a plethora of portraits, from animals to people and realistic to fantasy.

 3rd and 4th graders worked soooo hard! They worked right up until the last second so I didn't get any pictures. :(  But They made amazing animals and beautiful boxes!

We will be firing them soon! Many kids wonder...

How does firing work? And why do I have to wait so LONG!?

Here's you answer! 

Look what I just Found!
