We made wonderful artworks on these subjects.\u00a0 We had an interesting session of drawing pumpkin with a warm discussion of Halloween. Students talked about trick and treat, costumes, how many candies they got in Halloween.\u00a0 We discussed decoration of Halloween which lead to our drawing topics&#8212;&#8212;pumpkin and spider web.\u00a0 In addition to drawing pumpkin, which students still used a skill of drawing a circle, we practiced drawing lines to make a subject, that is a spider web.\u00a0 I taught students to draw long and short lines in specific ways, easily making a beautiful spider web.\u00a0 They all liked it and did diligent work and made a beautiful web.<\/p>\n<p>In the class of making leave prints, students learned what printing looks like and how to make it.\u00a0 Students experienced and practiced to making prints of leaves.\u00a0 Some students made 4-5 prints of one ginko leaf, very pretty artwork.\u00a0 At the same time, we draw one or two maple leaves and color them.<\/p>\n<p>In the classes of drawing dolphin and panda, dolphin and panda are lovely animals, so cute and kid-favorite that students really liked to draw them.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth mentioning that all students continue to do great work in the class. They focused, worked diligently, and creatively built up their own artistic view of their artworks.<\/p>\n<p>In a next few classes, we will draw subjects related to coming holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Yu, Teacher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Parents, In this month of classes, we had drawn dolphin, pumpkin, leaves, and panda.
