Heart Maps






The 4th Graders went soul searching with this project.  They created these Heart Maps to represent things that are very important to them.  I encouraged them to think of things that are very important to them and they created lists and webs in their sketchbooks.  Afterwards, I demonstrated a few techniques and gave them open-media choices to create their work.  I love how different each of these artworks turned out and how well they represent the student that created them!

This is the kind of project that you want to save and look back on and laugh at how you loved sponge bob.

I love this artwork! I will use this activity for my ELLs , 3rd grade. What a great way to unlock our young writer’s creative minds. We never know what is inside their beautiful minds and what they hold until we find creative ways to bring their thinking forward. What digital tool did you use for differentiation?
