SPOTLIGHT - Sketch #7: 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th Grade

For this sketchbook assignment, the 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th grade students were asked to create a religious sketch for possible acceptance in the Christmas bulletin for the church bulletin. 7th & 8th grade students had a little harder task of incorporating at least 5 of the 7 elements of art in their drawing. 

Note: Sketches for the church bulletin will be selected by the priest. The drawings below may or may not be featured in the bulletin, but awesome work must be shown off!

SPOTLIGHT - Sketch #6: 5th Grade

For this sketchbook assignment, the 5th grade students were to draw fruits and veggies with texture. The texture didn't have to be characteristic. In fact, experimentation was encouraged! I want to showcase 3 sketches for 3 different reasons. In the first drawing, the artist went out of her comfort zone to come up with her own original subjects and gave them very realistic textures.  The second drawing shows a variety of mediums (Watercolor, Colored Pencil and Sharpie) used to create the image as well as experimentation with some uncharacteristic textures for the subjects. The final drawing shows great texture as well as overlapping of fruits giving us the feeling of space. Congratulations, Ava, Victoria and Austyn!

SPOTLIGHT - Sketch #6: 6th Grade

For this assignment, 6th graders were to follow along with a YouTube tutorial in learning how to draw a realistic chipmunk using the art element texture. Here is a couple of the students work! Congratulations, Kora and Zeke!

SPOTLIGHT - Sketch #6 7th Grade

For this assignment, 7th graders were to trace their hand and add textures to each finger. Holy moly, did I get some realistic textures submitted to me! Narrowing it down to two was hard to do. Outstanding drawings, Valerie and Rowan! Knocked it right out of the park!

SPOTLIGHT - Sketch #6 8th Grade

For this assignment, 8th graders were to fill a shape of their choice with #2 pencils. Check out this drawing by Henry! He went over and beyond by including the element of value when adding color. The variety of twisted and curved pencils creates movement and interest in the work. Top notch artwork, Henry!
