7th and 8th Grade Art

We have had a productive couple of weeks in Middle School art. After completing the printing project, I re-introduced more technical processes for the students in preparation for advanced art in high school. We worked on shading, perspective drawing and figure drawing. This was really a refresher unit for most students and they retained the majority of the skills from a year or two ago. Last week was dedicated to working on the Gala playing card project. The students could create any card art they wanted and then I asked them to "sculpt" the cards, cutting and changing them into a shallow 3-D design. I am excited to see how the individual art comes together for the Gala donation.
