Update: above Layered Marker Bread/Fish Drawing
Our first session with 3-5 graders went really well. They enjoyed this technique -- they loved the vibrancy of the sharpies on the photo paper. Using the small size was also key to being able to finish in our timeframe. We talked about this being a "symbolic" illustration. They really liked making the contour lines and got right away that it represented the hillside where Jesus taught. They didn't have time to finish all the dots for the crowd. But most of them said they could finish at home.
For the younger kids this Sunday we will make the contour lines with much wider spaces. I think they'll be able to do the rest.
