January 10th-January 14th
The eighth grade classes continue to work on a brand new project: "A Color Study through Design". First, each student created their own design based on four specific directions that I provided. Then, they repeated their design seven more times on a 12 x 18 piece of drawing paper. Once their design was completed, they began painting. This project is an exercise in mixing paints and and developing a better understanding of color. In addition, the students are becoming acquainted with art vocabulary words such as analogous, complementary, monochromatic, opaque, neutral, shade, tint, and value. Each of the eight sections are being painted with a different color scheme. So far, the results have been quite impressive. This is a wonderful group of talented artists.
