Drawing of the Week

"Deep Space" by Cody Howard (6th Grade)

6th Grade Positive & Negative Space

The 6th graders worked on "positive and negative space".  They created a variety of shapes with black construction paper then (after arranging those shapes) outlined those shapes.  This created a repeating pattern created by the placement of the black shapes.

8th Grade Cityscapes

The 8th graders are working on their "cityscapes".  The cityscapes use one-point perspective to look realistic.  The students must create a city that includes the following:

20 buildings
street, sidewalk, billboards, streetlights, etc.

 

6th Grade Abstract Sculptures

The 6th graders are working on their "abstract sculptures".  They began by brainstorming different emotions (mad, sad, happy, etc.)  and then had to show what those emotions would look like using only line.

Then the students rolled tubes out of newspaper.  Those tubes are being used to create a sculpture based on one of the emotions the students drew.  The sculptures are painted after being built.
