Tomas’ Shark Attack
By Veronique Christensen — Wednesday, June 6th, 2007
We had art class at home again last weekend.
This time Tomas had us all do drawings based on the rubber shark who lives in the bathtub (and who I can’t find today to take a picture of!).
The pictures above are of the last assignment; to make a pop-up card based on Sharky in his native habitat.
The other activities (which were friggin hard for the artistically challenged — moi!) included:
- Draw Sharky with just one zig-zag line.
- Draw Sharky using 5 circles, 5 triangles, 5 squares, and 5 diamonds.
- Draw Sharky with one single line. Do not lift up your pencil/pen/crayon.
- Draw Sharky using just 20 straight lines.
- Draw Sharky using 30 V’s
- Draw Sharky using 30 circles
The catch was that you had to do your drawing based on your specific view of the shark — very hard to do in practice! It was fasciinating to discover how we each interpreted the assignments differently.
