5th Grade Birds Eye View Perspective

You always see the same perspective drawings from the street, or a hallway. I wanted my students to try something different. I found a video on Youtube about a Birds Eye View of a city. So I wrote up a lesson about it, and we had a good time doing this project. Things started to get out of hand when students got closer to the edges of the paper. To them, things just didn't look right. Here are some examples of some great works!
Just look at those tops of trees down there! 

Even though the building tops are exact, I still love the cartoon look of them.

Some kids used mechanical pencils, I love how precise the lines are.

Great first attempt!

The traffic flow on this one looks like a nightmare!

5th Grade Pattern Hands

I had my 5th grade classes trace their hands on a piece of paper and then make different patterns in the spaces. They colored them in such a way that their hands were either warm or cool, and the background was the opposite. These two were great examples. I will post the template and lesson plan soon. These examples are from my 5th Grade class.
