Elementary Perspective Projects

4th Grade
The fourth graders reviewed the basics of perspective that they learned last year then applied them to create a unique landscape. I was so excited to see the sheer variety in ideas that the students had. They all went in completely different directions and each shows the personality of the artist. 
3rd Grade
The third graders worked on a perspective project of their own where they learned how to draw a desert road. One of my personal favorites is the one featuring a Godzilla battle! My students never stop suprising me with their unique ideas! 
8/9 Ceramics
Here are a few finished peices from the ceramics coil pot project. There were quite a few that turned out absolutely beautiful! 
7th Grade
The 7th graders learned about impressionism as an artistic movement and then experimented with fun colors and textures to create an oil pastel scene. The students liked the bright colors, but some found the medium frustrating to work with. Either way, it was a nice break from the tighter drawing style we did for our last project. 
6th Grade
The sixth graders learned about one point perspective and then created dynamic cityscapes.

My 7th graders finished up a BIG drawing project! I taught the class how to work from a reference using a grid to create an accurate drawing. A lot of the students said it really helped them gain confidence in their abilities. They each got to choose their own reference and we worked on transferring the shapes to a larger format for shading. I love how this process allows students to take on challenging subject matter and really boost their confidence!

4th Grade
The fourth graders had a blast being "professional artists" this week. We were contacted by a local business and asked to create unique and colorful Christmas cards in return for a donation to our art department. The kids were thrilled about essentially being "paid" for their work! I had them do Styrofoam prints using washable markers and sponges to wet the paper. They did a great job and I wish I could keep them all!

The ceramics class finished up an awesome birdhouse project! They did a great job of combining creativity with skill. I am so excited to see how they all turn out!
3rd Grade
The third grade classes completed a fun tissue paper collage assignment based on the changing leaves. They loved using the torn paper to create see through leaves for their trees,
