5th and 6th Grade Art

We have completed all the cut paper portraits for this unit. The students settled into the process and showed a clearer understanding of how shadows and value change create depth and dimension with the portraits. The proportions shown were accurate and I believe the students began to understand the importance of carefully crafted work. This group of students took a bit more time with this project than past classes and the layers of skill and concentration were difficult for many of the students, but they showed determination and successfully completed the process. I am glad to say that 99% of the students handled the x-acto knives with care and respect and their skills increased tremendously as the project progressed. I am excited to display the portraits soon so you can enjoy the work as well.
