Texture Birds

8th grade Texture Birds

While studying the element of art, texture, the 8th grade artists created texture birds using chalk and oil pastels. The students sketched and drew birds from reference folders provided for their tables.

For 8th graders chalk pastels can sometimes be a challenging medium to master; however, the students succeeded with flying colors!

7th grade 1 Point Perspective

7th Grade 1 Point Perspective (Birds Eye View)

7th grade students learned about 1 point perspective creating a birds eye view of a city. To begin the project the 7th graders competed a sketch, using ideas from a reference folder that I provided for them. The students were required to show that all buildings were converging to one vanishing point. The buildings were given windows, doors and details to complete the artwork. All student artwork was colored using colored pencil.
