Elementary II (4th, 5th and 6th Grade)

Work was finally completed across the grades on the tesselations and the bird houses, so we quickly moved on to working on more technical drawing skills. For several of the new students, one point perspective was a new process and proved to be challenging. We worked for two class going step by step working on following the process. The majority of the students were successful with the perspective drawing and all of the 4th and 5th grade students became proficient with shading techniques. Moving on from the technical lessons, we began the looser and openly creative playing card project. This groups focus is creating two sets of art: one set is based on scratch art and the other set is colored and collaged. I am really pleased with the scratch art cards, they are visually beautiful. I am working on how to present the collection for the Gala and am very excited to see the pieces come together.
