April 23rd-April 27th

We're getting ready to work with clay!

This week, the sixth graders are moving on to a new clay project. We will be exploring "form" by designing pinch pots with our hands and various clay tools. Once the clay dries, we will use acrylic paint to add vibrant colors to our pinch pots. It will be a messy week in the art room, so please do not wear your favorite outfits. Smocks will be available for all students.

April 16th-April 20th

This week, sixth graders will continue to work on their cityscapes in one or two-point perspective. While drawing several buildings last week, the students used rulers to accurately draw guidelines to their vanishing point(s) in an effort to make their skyscrapers or other structures appear to be three dimensional. This week, finishing touches will be added. This will include careful outlining in black marker and shading in with colored pencils. The students have shown great creativity in designing their personalized cities.

One Point Perspective

This week, sixth graders will begin designing their city scapes in one or two-point perspective. On Monday, the students will use rulers to accurately draw guidelines to their vanishing point(s) in an effort to make skyscrapers or other structures appear to be three dimensional. Next week, finishing touches will be added. This will include careful outlining in black marker and shading in with colored pencils. Soon, the art room will be filled with creative architects designing the next great city skyline!
