I about choked on my pumpkin seeds upon seeing the work by a couple of my 8th graders. Bravo, Rowan and Francie!!
CUE THE SPOTLIGHT!
For this sketchbook assignment, the 7th graders were introduced the art principle: Emphasis. EMPHASIS is used to attract a viewer's attention to the focal point, or main subject, of an artwork. Students were expected to fill the background with simple black and white patterns (or zentangles) to make the colored object of their choice stand out. In addition to emphasis, this sketch assignment had students practicing contrast, pattern and line! Nice job, 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!!
