6th grade Warhol objects

6th graders did a quick Andy Warhol project to learn about the color wheel and contrasting colors. They chose 1 object and re-drew it 4 times, painting with bright, contrasting colors each time.

Sunglasses Self Portraits

7th and 8th graders impressed me so much using the grid system to create a self portrait. I took all of their photos with sunglasses on, I didn't want them to worry about drawing eyes, because that is the hardest part to make look realistic. They folded their printed photo into 24 sections, and recreated the same grid on their final paper. They drew their photograph with pencil, learning how to shade different facial features and hair. Then, they used colored pencils to draw a dream of theirs inside of their sunglass lenses.

Winter snowscape

6th graders created winter landscapes, practicing how to create a snow-like affect with paint, as well as stars on a dark, cold night.

3 part typography project

Graphic Design students created a 3-part typography project. First, they created a basic alphabet following the guidelines of creating a font like width, height, thickness and weight. Then they created a hand-drawn "fancy" font, adding an element of decoration to their first basic alphabet. Lastly, they chose a quote and applied their fancy font to it with an illustration.
