As part of our author/illustrator study of the Pinkney family, first graders created a family tree of the family using some of the mediums used by the family's illustrators.
Students began by painting a tree using watercolor, a medium Jerry Pinkney uses frequently to create his beautiful paintings. I often use the website Reading Rockets to find out more about favorite author/illustrators and it did not disappoint. It's definitely worth taking a look at if you have time.

After painting their family tree, students used crayons and a pair of scissors to add something to their scene using the scratchboard technique that Brian Pinkney is known for. Finally, students added photographs of each member of the Pinkney family since Myles Pinkney is a photographer. They also glued on a piece of paper to give credit to the website where we got the photographs.
I love how their family trees turned out.
