Creating Value

My fifth graders will be learning about creating values (black, white and the grays between) as they collaboratively piece together the portrait of a person who has added value to the world in a significant way.

Mini Canvases will combine to make one portrait as students learn to make values, read coordinates on grid, and learn about the value the subject of the portrait has added to the world.
