Vase Face

3rd grade started a 3 part project that involves drawing a profile/vase. This is a difficult exercise because it requires a lot of concentration and hand eye coordination. Students used rulers to help them guide their drawing. They will complete two vase pattern drawings, cut them out and select one to use as their template for completing the

project. The last step will involve adding decorative mosaic tiles.
