5th and 6th Grade Art

We have begun a new drawing unit in art this week. I have introduced advanced shading exercises to the class and they have been practicing the techniques. The students are improving with each class and we will begin a longer term still-life project this week using the newly learned technique. Shading takes some patience and a lot of practice to improve, but starting the students at this grade level will accelerate the skills and they show great pride when they can transform a simple line drawing to show dimension in forms.
