Grade four is learning about micro-organisms in their science class. I thought it would be cool to make our own micro-organism and design what it would look like under a microscope! We looked at some photos of micro-organisms taken from microscopes and were amazed at all the different colours we saw! Students then had to sketch out their micro-organism. When they decided on a share and colour scheme, students could then draw it and colour with oil pastel, and finally use the watercolour paints to add a background. They had such a good time coming up with ideas as to what their micro-organism could do!
I am the art teacher at Shanghai United International School PuDong Campus. I teach art to Grade Three Panda all the way to Grade Eight. I am also the Homeroom teacher for Grade8TB. Lucky them! Some students think I am famous, because everyone knows me at our school. :]
