3rd Grade Neutral Robots

3rd Grade Neutral Robots

     3rd graders invented their own robots. Students started by drawing robots using pencil first, then outlining with Sharpie markers. Students used white and black acrylic paint to mix a variety of neutral grays for painting in the robots. The focus of this project was to show as many values as possible within the robots. For this lesson, students worked on the following learning targets:

- I can combine a variety of shapes and lines to create an interesting and detailed robot.

- I can create and show at least 5 different neutral values in my artwork.

- I can show careful use of craftsmanship with my drawing and painting.
