7th and 8th Grade Still Life Drawings

7th and 8th Graders are currently working on still life drawings. Each table had a different still life set up when they came to class and we practiced doing 30 second to five minuit gesture drawings the first day. Then I showed them how to use a viewfinder to pin point an interesting composition and then draw using markers, pastels or colored pencils. Here are some the works in progress:

9th and 10th Grade Self Portraits

 9th and 10th Grade is currently working on self portrait drawings. We spent two weeks just practicing drawing facial features with correct proportions then they began their drawings. If they did not want to draw themselves I allowed them to draw another person of their choice. Once the drawing is done they can use colored pencils, pencil, or oil pastels to color it in. Some are choosing to do pencil shading for the figure and the background color, which I think will turn out awesome. Here are a few sneak peaks of what some of them have so far, since they are still working on these.

6th Grade Art

The 6th Graders also did a perspective project where they got to choose either one point, two point or three point and create their own work of art. I gave them allot of freedom on this project and some students did collage while others painted and still others used colored pencils. I like the diversity of the finished products and they look great too! Unfortunately, some of the artwork I did not get to post because it was so awesome! and the students wanted to give it away to Mrs. Mason before she left, a teacher who recently left our school. Enjoy the pictures below!

After perspective, I taught about the color wheel and students had to create a watercolor work of art that incoroporated colors that they mixed using the color wheel. 

  

9th and 10th Grade Perspective Collage

          The 9th and 10th Graders have been working long and hard on a perspective unit and just completed their final project. After learning how to do one point, two point and three point perspective drawings, they chose their favorite kind of perspective, came up with a design and then used magazines and wrapping paper to collage over the drawings. The final products look awesome!
