I offered PJ two choices of art projects today. One choice was to design his own Heraldic Achievement: Coat of Arms (images within the shield), the Crest and Helm, Supporters, and Motto. I provided a template and images for viewing and reference with animal meanings and color psychology. This project covers iconography or symbolism, design, balance and symmetry, and color.

The other choice was to create some illustrations for his cooking notebook. I provided a wonderful cookbook illustrated by a well-known contemporary artist Javier Mariscal for PJ to look at for inspiration.

PJ opted to continue working on his current project showing contrast with complementary colors, pattern, repetition, and motion with line. He was focused and worked hard. I am proud of the work PJ did this week! I told him we would hang his design on our art room Brag Wall when he was finished.

I asked PJ if he was interested in one-point and two-point perspective. He said he might be, so I will have some visual activities for him to create a room and a city street, if that interests him.
