Community Construction!

Back at the after-school program, students have been working on replicating buildings from their community. Each student picked a building they wanted to draw & paint, and eventually, we will create a miniature version of their community, mapped out with the buildings they made. In the coming weeks, we will be adding streets, transportation, people, and foliage.

Students did practice sketches in pencil to 

get the shapes down, then outlined in Sharpie.

The last step was painting, which was done in

tempera. Lots of buildings still to go.

Rome was not built in a day!
