Portraits of all kinds
I have started the 5th graders off with the challenging task of drawing a self-portrait from life, using only a pencil, paper and a mirror. It's easy to draw what you think a face looks like, but it's a greater challenge to really study your face for it's shapes and shadows. I think they are doing a fantastic job!
2nd Grade is beginning to paint their wonderful family portraits. Learning to overlap figures was a tough concept for these young artists, but with a little guidance during the early stages of drawing, they mastered the concept pretty well. I can't wait to see these beautiful paintings when they are finished.
