It Starts with a Line....

7th grade art students use the ENO board to create a class grid that is made up of the many different kinds of lines discussed in art class. Students will then use these grids to design an abstract drawing in the style of Pablo Picasso! Stay tuned!

Pumpkin Still Life's!

It's that time of year! The fall has approached so we are doing pumpkin still life's to hone in on our shading skills! We are working with The Element of Value and Form. After practicing shading in forms, we are now looking at real life observation drawings and drawing what we see, not just what is in our imagination. Check out the progress our student's are making!
