SPOTLIGHT - Sketch #11: 5th Grade

This sketchbook assignment is influenced by Pop art. Pop Art is a style of art based on simple, bold images of everyday items, such as soup cans, painted in bright colors. Pop artists created pictures of consumer product labels and packaging, photos of celebrities, comic strips and animals.

5th graders were to divide their sketchbook paper into 4 sections. In each section they drew a donut. Students drew a total of 4 donuts using the style of Pop Artist, Andy Warhol - full of bright, bold colors and fun patterns. Mix them together and we got sketches of the most delicious looking donuts!

Congratulations, Artists!

SPOTLIGHT - Sketch #10: 6th Grade

For this sketchbook assignment, the 6th grade students followed along with a tutorial to learn how to draw a fruit bowl and creating emphasis in their drawings.

Students were expected to fill the background with simple black and white patterns to make the fruit bowl stand out. This sketch not only taught emphasis, but also had students practicing the art elements of form (shading) and space (overlapping fruit).
