For this sketchbook assignment, the 5th & 6th grade students learned how to create a 3D illusion on a 2D surface. Check these out!!
For this sketchbook assignment, the 7th and 8th grade worked with created art using words.
7th grade focused on typography (the style and appearance of printed words). These students created a contour drawing of an object, then filled the object with a word or words related to that object.
8th grade focused on creating a calligram (a poem, phrase, or word in which the typeface, calligraphy or handwriting is arranged in a way that creates an image. The image created by the words expresses visually what the word says.) These students draw a simple contour drawing of an object, then students filled the object with song lyrics or words from a poem.
Nice work, artists!
For this sketchbook assignment, the 5th & 6th grade students learned how to draw a vehicle by following along with a tutorial. Then, students got their creative juices flowing and came up with very unique ways of designing their vehicles. How AWESOME are these?!! Please let these be our future transportation.
Nice work, artists!!!
For this sketchbook assignment, the 7th grade students had the option of either designing a car or creating emphasis using a zentangle. No surprise that these sketches rocked because my artists are amazing!!

For this sketchbook assignment, the 8th grade students chose a theme (favorite movie, cartoon, sport, hobby...) and designed currency for that theme using the media of their choice.
Nice job, artists!
