Project

• Pretend you are sitting on the roof of your
  school and looking down at the playground.
• Draw all the games you would see being played on
  the playground.
• Show the children moving about in their games.
• Use your memories from recess about what games to
  include.
• It doesnt have to be based on a real scene, you
  can combine scenes.
• To create a crowd that looks real, draw lots of
  children. Draw large ones for the foreground,
  medium-sized ones for the middle ground and small
  ones for the background.
• Remember you are up high looking down (BIRDS EYE
  VIEW) just like Bruegel!
• Use 9 x 12 paper for this project and your choice
  of medium.
• Color figures with marker, crayons, oil pastels
  or colored pencils.
