Kinder & 1st grade collages

It has been such a busy year that Ms. Schubow forgot to post some of the earliest work by kinders and 1st graders! They learned about different materials and different methods (or ways of using the materials). Students learned about 5 different lines and also how to make these lines different. Kinder students also practiced their tracing skills in their fall leaf collages! Enjoy!

Do you see the hidden face?

Line Dancing

3rd Graders learned about line and variation. They learned that there are infinite ways to draw a line by varying the size, length, direction and thickness of a line. This project was also a collaborative project where students worked as table teams and needed to make sure 1 main line ran through all projects and as a group had to decide on a common color for the main line; it was very democratic! Check em out, they look pretty sweet all together!

Contour Line Project

For this project 8th graders had the challenge of observational drawing, where they had to look and see what they were drawing, rather than coming up with an image from their heads. Students learned about 3 kinds of line drawing- gesture drawing which is a very quick and loose drawing, blind contour drawing where the artist does not look at their paper or lift the pencil as they draw, and a contour line drawing- which is a drawing of the object solely using lines. Students had to draw the same object 3 times with each method of drawing.

A student's contour line drawing of a hallway in their home- beautiful!

Students had to draw blind contour drawings of themselves for homework--I love these results!
