Fourth Grade Worms In Space

We began a favorite fourth grade lesson...Worms In Space teaches the concept of value and perspective with an out of this world theme. Artists drew a line that filled their paper and overlapped at least three times. The next step was to add a parallel line that followed the first line creating a "worm" or tubular shape. The next step was creating a light source and then adding hatching or shading to their tube to give the effect of a cylindrical shape. After working on the concepts of shading, students then had fun adding astronauts, aliens, space craft and more! Stay tuned for the finished work.
