I am so proud of the Grade 2 artists for making these beautiful "ancient" symbol drawings. They learned a lot and also added their own special ideas to complete this project.
For this project, they first had to study symbols from different ancient cultures around the world. Three ancient cultures that used symbols for writing were the ancient Egyptian, Mayan, and Chinese cultures. Grade 2 artists used some symbols from each of these cultures in their artwork.
Grade 2 artists also learned that a symbol is a simple picture which has a bigger meaning. They designed their own symbols to show important things about themselves. For example, I might draw a paint brush to represent creating artwork.
To make these projects look amazing, they learned blending and layering techniques for oil pastel. They also used a watercolor wash to paint the background. Some students used muted colors to create an effect that looks like old paper.
We hope you enjoy these selected Grade 2 artworks! :)
