Drawing Tutorial: Chalk, Part 2

This part isn't so much a tutorial as a further gallery. Enjoy :)

Here are some pieces that I did while in my practicum and that I've drawn since then:
Animals in 5th grade (we learned about the various stomachs and intestines of the cow, among other things, thus the numbers)

A map of Greece + the acropolis for history in the 5th grade

Here are some animals I drew for learning English in the lower grades

I promise, the eyes did not seem to glow quite so creepily in real life.. :)

Yes, here I didn't prepare the background...so they're kind of floating in midair, but I think they're still recognizable ;)

I've drawn several, several blackboard drawings since then, but here are just a few. A winter scene from the 1st grade where I (almost) daily added details:

The children were often better at remembering than I ;)

A spring picture with a beehive to go along with our bee unit in 2nd grade.

From our field work unit, following the process from kernel to bread in 3rd grade:

Can you recognize which of those is barley, wheat + rye? (the blank space was for the oats, but that would have been easy ;) (At least for me -- now that I've taught this unit!) The kernels dance around individually)

And the two most recent creations for our Fasching (carneval) celebration with our tradesman theme (in 3rd grade):
A smithy (to play pin-the-hammer-on-the-smithy ;) )

And carpenters (in traditional dress that is often still worn today) working on a house

And here are some more impressive pieces from some of my fellow students, from the 1st and 2nd years at the Seminar -- wow!
Animals

Fairy Tales

Another landscape

Some French :)

Even Anatomy! (from our 2nd year)

Norse Mythology (for 4th grade) + Smithy (3rd grade)

A tribute to M, who sadly died by suicide during our second year. (I struggled to know how to write this -- or if to write it at all...Death but especially suicide can be emotionally messy, but I didn't want to leave it unsaid, feeling that that would be painting an incomplete picture. Unfortunately there are people who suffer so much that they feel that is their only way to go. It is devastating. But I hope we can be there for each other -- both to support each other when a friend or loved one leaves us by their own hand or, even better, before that is seen as the last option. You are not alone. We are not alone. You are seen + you are loved.)

M was impressive + inspiring-- it always seemed like he was a step ahead of us, each new step of the way -- showing us what else was possible (such it was with the black-and-white + the watercolor drawings as well). The teacher gave us different assignments that got progressively more difficult +/or complicated.

However, each time the new assignment came, M had somehow intuited it + already applied it in the previous assignment. For example with the charcoal pointillism, his forms already appeared three dimensional, while the rest of us were just trying to figure out how to create denser blobs among the dots... :)

Can't you feel the heat? + the energy of both the pursuer + the pursued?
