We created scale drawings of the planets found within the Solar System. We used compasses to draw the planets based on their reduced radius. We used a website which scaled down the sun to 10,000cm (10m) which allowed us to work out the reduced diameter of the other planets. If the sun is 10m in diameter then Earth would be 4. 2 cm. We used our knowledge of the properties of circles and our measure skills to help us create a scale drawing of our Solar System.
I liked drawing the planets because it was a bit of art mixed in with maths. Ryan
I can now identify the diameter and radius of a circle. Julia
I enjoyed having the option of working with a peer because Jupiter was so big.
We created a line drawing using shape analysis. First we analysed a variety of portraits and discussed different shapes we could see. We then analysed the proportions of our faces and we discovered that our eyes are actually located in the middle of our heads. Our eyes are an eye space apart as well as the tops of our ears. We used an oval shape for our head and our eyes were an almond shape.
We were successful at creating portraits using shape analysis. We will apply this skill to our future drawings.
I feel I was successful because I used shape analysis to create a life like portrait Emma B
Welcome to Primary 6a. We have been using the gridline technique to enlarge a picture for our class personal points chart. We all had to vote for our favourite picture and Adam’s entry was selected. Together we made modifications to the design and then in our groups enlarged the picture. We identified our own personal targets to help create a good learning environment.
