This is a project I've seen floating around the internet for a while. I couldn't find the originator of this lesson so, if you know, please leave a comment so I can give attribution!
This was a great lesson for me to teach as I seldom address the art element of texture in my projects.
Grade 4- 6 students started by tracing their hand and drawing the crease marks of their palm for realism. The, on each finger, they had to draw a different texture. I showed them how to shade for added depth. Then, they needed to add colour to at least two fingers. I think these are so fun and creative!
