Kluender- A day Art 78 classes

A day Art 7/8 students are finishing up their pencil self-portraits with magazine mosaic backgrounds....and they are beautiful! 

We practiced using a grid as a drawing tool. Most students agreed that the grid was a big help in getting the drawing in proportion. 

We used #2 pencil to add value to the artwork. 

Then, we added a mosaic background using bits from magazines and mod podge.

Check out some student work here:

We are in various stages of progress in Art 78. Students for the most part have finished shading and are working on their magazine mosaic backgrounds. 

Once the base color mosaic is complete, they will cut letters "ransom style" to quote their portrait. What a great way to have your artwork look great AND have something to say!
