Students in our Art 6 classes completed three projects. The first project they worked on was Picasso Portraits in which they drew a realistic picture of themselves and then created a distorted, Cubistic version of their self-portrait. They embellished the design with colors and patterns.
Seventh graders also created a "Posterized Portrait" in which they traced a posterized image of themselves and used analogous colors to color the areas in with colored pencil.
Here are some samples of some finished paintings. Enjoy!
Another project the 6th graders worked on was "3-D Letters" in which students created a selected letter three-dimensionally using tag board, mat board, masking tape, modeling paste/gesso mixture. Students then painted the boxes to achieve a desired surface design.
The first project that the 7th graders worked on this year was a lettering color study in which students used the colors of the color wheel to create a design with a selected word done in bubble or block letters.
Another project that the 7th graders worked on this marking period was "Posterized Portraits", in which students made a monochromatic redition of their face in colored pencil.
6th graders completed famous paintings...one block at a time. See if you can recognize these paintings!
8th grade Graphic Design classes completed pattern designs called "Casino Carpet", due to the boldness of the colors and the busy patterns.
They also did a "Pop Art Faces" project applying a posterize filter to their pictures and using bright contasting colors to create a bold look.
