7th & 8th Grade - Texture Animals

7th and 8th graders did an outstanding job with their texture projects! With this project, we learned techniques on how to use oil pastels. It’s not just coloring like you would with your everyday Crayola crayon. Using blending and layering of their oil pastels, students were able to create realistic implied textures. Then, we created actual texture by embossing aluminum foil and staining the metal to bring out the texture lines.

7th & 8th Grade - Animal Grid Portrait Drawing

Hold your chins, and take a look at these jaw-dropping artworks done by 7th & 8th Grade artists! ONE SQUARE AT A TIME, students used the grid system to transfer a real photograph of an animal to their own work surface. These artists were so attentive to details such as the direction of fur and value changes! Applause!
