Kluender: Art 78

Students are working hard to mix and blend colored pencils to make the most realistic colors. These animal images will be in color,  but will also have a "filter box" applied to it where pencil shading will be applied...stay tuned for pictures!

Computer Art students are beginning to add color to their Power Word Kaleidoscopes! Wow, these are looking great! We discussed adding shading to create a push/pull feeling of movement in the design. Some students even chose to add patterns into areas of the background for extra detail!

Kluender: Art 8


Art 8 is shading, shading, shading! It's SO EXCITING to see these hand drawings coming to completion! 

These 8th graders have worked past artist's block, self doubt, and drawing difficulty to produce some really great drawings! 

Stay tuned for images of some AMAZING RESULTS!!!!!!!

CA 78 Students are making progress on their studio power word kaleidoscopes! After  finishing the kaleidoscope designs in pencil, they are fixing any mistakes and tracing with sharpie.


Then, we're discussing color choices. Students should think about their color choices and how they will affect their end result. They are required to include shading some areas of the colored pencil and can add patterning if they wish.
