Frankentecture - Constructed Architecture, fourth grade sketchbook assignment and clip card in School Arts!

I opened my SchoolArts magazine to find my clip card for my sketchbook lesson Frankentecture had been published!  That was pretty exciting!

Frankentecture is part of a unit on 19th century architecture I teach my fourth graders.  I wrote a little bit more about it in my classroom blog .  Before I even knew about the SchoolArts article, my current fourth graders completed the assignment and they turned out great!

Invent Your Own Cartoon Character! handout

From SchoolArts in 2001, here is a Invent Your Own Cartoon Character! handout.  This is fun for all ages!  This can be a sketchbook supplement, in the drawing center, or used as a resource for a unit on cartooning!
