The children and I have enjoyed watching our Amaryllis bulbs grow into beautiful flowers.
In addition to taking photographs of the flowers, the children decided to draw them. Rather than simply creating a quick sketch, we focused on looking closely at the plant and representing them to the best of our abilities. This often meant that the children required multiple opportunities to draw the Amaryllis in order to produce a representation that was their best work. With each drawing, the children demonstrated an increasing ability to attend to details as they considered the shapes, width, lengths and positions of the parts of the Amaryllis. When they felt they had done their best work, they finalized their drawing using watercolour crayons.
Here are some of the representations:
