Sept 16 Exit Slip

 Oh no I have forgotten to post an exit slip for Sept 16 and I'm afraid I did not have a picture of the drawings we did in class. We got some watermelon, and we picked natural and human made things to draw about. What we noticed was the use of straight edges, 90 degree angle, along with regular shapes like rectangles and triangles were most often found in human made things, where patterns and symmetries are simple and easily identifiable. Moving on to things in nature, leaves, trees, fruits, etc, they might look simple at first, but as we try to draw them, we realize that there is quite a lot going on that simple circular and straight lines aren't good enough. They have unique, symmetrical, recursive patterns, varying curvatures, and lots more that make capturing them in a simple drawing difficult, and we learn to appreciate the complexity of nature.
