IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BORDERS

GRAPHITE SPHERES
7TH GRADE ART WHEEL 2015-2016 1ST QUARTER
graphite on paper w/ colored pencil accents


Even though you pups are gone, 
I've still got a bunch of your art pieces to show off.
So let's get started with your pencil spheres.
And let's also see what kinds of creative borders you've come up with 
to surround your drawings.
Borders really help to surround/fill up and balance a composition
 when you have too much negative space.

Sweet Nerie Crisologo is showing us great range of value within her sphere
plus she has gone for extra credit by bringing in some colored pencil accents.
Neri has given us a picture frame border.

Full of life Kritika Pantha
has drawn her very realistic looking apples in graphite
 and done the rest in colored pencil.
Notice her fun & swirly cornerstones.

Creative Daisy Camacho's cornerstone borders 
are the perfect compliment to her adorable drawing.

And Emma Phungraksakiat goes all out 
with both her drawing and ivy borders.
And what a tremendous job she has done with her sphere.
Fabulous transitions between value changes.

But I felt one of the most clever borders was done by Bryant Huang.
What a great idea Bryant!!

  2. I especially like Emma's sphere, which looks like it's resting on a piece of vintage embroidery.
