5th and 6th Grade Art

The students continued work on the cut portrait assignment this week. I presented the level of detail you can achieve using the x-acto knife, demonstrating the many details in an eye. The students are beginning to see the various value changes and details in their portraits and are gaining greater control of the tools. One class had a substitute teacher on Thursday so I could take a group to MOCA, and they were still well focused on their work and proceeded to work as expected. I was glad (but not surprised) to get a good report from the substitute teacher.

Notice the value details beginning to take shape.
