Polar Bear Habitat<br />
Noah Rhymes<br />
Grade: 3<br />
School: PS 8, Bronx<br />
<strong>Art</strong> Teacher: Linda Culhane<br />
Pencil, marker, crayon, and<br />
wet-brush wash on paper<br />
STUDENT: When people see<br />
my work I would like<br />
them to think they are<br />
really in the Arctic. I want<br />
them to feel that they<br />
are there with the polar<br />
bears and feel cold too.<br />
I want them to know that<br />
at the top there was a<br />
little snowball and then<br />
it rolled down and grew<br />
bigger and bigger.<br />
When I was little I would<br />
take out a piece of paper and<br />
draw the cartoons I saw on TV.<br />
Then people would ask, “Who<br />
drew this?” I would say,”Me!” and<br />
they would say, “You’re joking!”<br />
TEACHER: Third graders used a bleeding<br />
and blocking technique to capture<br />
the icy frozen aspect of the Arctic,<br />
an area they learned about in their<br />
science class. They outlined their<br />
work with markers, then white crayon<br />
was applied for a resist process.<br />
Finally, they used a wet brush overall.<br />
Students explored several media to<br />
recreate a special place that appeared<br />
realistic, yet magical. Noah’s polar<br />
bear art was hanging in the main<br />
office and everyone loved it.<br />
