Jump Rope Art

Here are some third grade results from the jumpe rope art project. What would you draw if you were told to create a picture of someone, anyone, jumping roping? The students loved this idea. I really wanted them to add something different into their drawing which is why the yarn was used for the jump rope. The students seemed to take a varied approach for adhering the yarn to the paper. Some wanted the yarn to still be able to move around so it would look like the picture was taking more action and others wanted to completely secure the rope onto the picture so it would feel more like a moment in time. The students were coming up with all sorts of ideas for who should be jumping rope.  I placed a diagram on the board as a template if anyone was having trouble with showing a person jumping. We talked about the bent leg part of jumping rope. I even pretended I was jumping rope so they could physically get the idea of what it looked like.
