Fingerprints 2

This week Grade 6 successfully researched about fingerprint patterns. In their development sketchbooks they did an initial sketch of one of their own fingerprints. After sketching the print on an A4 size page they identified what kind of print they each have by naming the characteristics of the print patterns. It was fun to see kids holding their fingers up to each other and asking, "But do you see that loop there? Does that mean it is arched or just regular?" All of the students were very discerning and showed great observation skills as they explored their own prints. The final sketches in their Development Sketchbooks were impressive, both for their size and detail.

Grade 6 Studio Work
1. Complete large fingerprint drawing.
2. Identify characteristics of fingerprint pattern.
3. Label print (which finger is the print from, what kind of print is it).
4. Choose colours for painting.
