Meet My 2nd Quarter 7th Graders

Creative, sweet, well-behaved, enthusiastic and fun, that's how I would describe my new crop of 7th graders.  I'm enjoying you all so much, and am impressed with all the artistic talent and hard work going on.  

For their 3rd assignment I introduced the kids to charcoal, had them experiment with finding their own shading style, and which sticks or pencils they liked the best.  Then the assignment was very basic: draw a cone, shade it in , put in a cast shadow, horizon and do something with either the fore or backgrounds.  Of course these young ones did so much more for me, and these were my top picks.

Karthik Sivanadiyan created the cool design on the top left, and Insha Khan drew the humorous one on the top right.

Superstar Felix Yiu did the very detailed piece on the top left and Raul Hernandez did the lovely desertscape on the top right.  I think we only have 3 more weeks together at most.  What am I going to do without you Eunice, Michelle and Brian???  I don't want to give you guys up!  They are the most pleasant group of 7th graders I've worked with, and it will be very sad to see them go.
