Chatskis In Perspective

Students wrap up their object drawings after blindly choosing an object from what I call my Chatski Bag. Their objective is to show the illusion of space in an object; The students have to consider as they draw: linear perspective, three dimensional form, size, overlapping, value and focus, etc. and draw the object from different positions to create an abstract composition. I plan to extend this lesson in to our Color Theory Unit. The paper is folded in thirds, as students consider the next phase which consists of using three different color schemes painted with Tempera.The results should be striking! Tune in later to see them.

Back To The Future

First week, students play Soul Train Scrabble Board (complete with theme music) to arrange the class procedures in order of occur acne.

Students used jigsaw strategy to read, summarize and present text. Art class is about so much more than production.
