Contour Line and Value Leaf Sketches

Day 1 

7th grade 

Contour Line and Value Leaf Sketch

Sketch Day!

Students used yesterdays information about line to create contour line drawings of leaves. 

The students used real leaves to create their composition. 

They were required to have a minimum of 5 leaves and some needed to be overlapping. 

Once the students completed the sketch they received 8x8 watercolor paper to draw their final copies on. Tomorrow the students will use liquid watercolors to paint the fall leaves. 

6th grade - Monochromatic Haunted House

Day 1- Monochromatic Haunted House

Begin our Sketches

6th grade artists began their sketches today for the Monochromatic Haunted house project. 

The students used their ipads for haunted house references. 

The students picked 5 didfferent haunted houses they liked and saved the image to their ipad. They then used the images to create a new image of their own and added details to their projects (trees, moons, clouds, pumpkins, etc..)

Tomorrow, day 2, the students will create their monochromatic background.

Line Activity

Line - Element of Art Activity

After a PowerPoint and guided notes we got moving around the room to create some lines!

Students were paired into groups of three and four.

Each group received a piece of yarn/string.

I prompted the class to use the string to create a variety of lines.

(Horizontal, diagonal, vertical, curved, zig zag, etc.)

What do we do on the second day of school?

Design our own personal iPhones!

6th, 7th and 8th grade students created and drew 12 apps that would describe them. The students also created and drew what the case of their phone would look like.

Once the students completed drawing they added color to their design.
