Art 8 has finished their first major project of the year! They are learning all about OBSERVATIONAL DRAWING.
Students had to look at a picture to work from. They had to include a large range of values in their artwork using the drawing pencils and tools provided. Then, we discussed adding contrast to the artwork by using a less predictable material, watercolor to add color to their artwork. We discussed many different approaches to add the watercolor, but students really liked the "blow" watercolor effect.
Check out some of our finished work below:

Next, students will be working with value in color. We will be discussing SYMBOLISM in artwork. Students were asked to bring a personal object from home for homework. This object will tell something about themselves. We will also be discussing color symbolism.
Students will be creating a colored pencil drawing that uses value in a MONOCHROMATIC or COMPLEMENTARY color scheme.
