THE BALL'S IN YOUR COURT

GRAPHITE SPHERES
7TH GRADE ART WHEEL 2014-2015 4TH QUARTER
graphite on paper w/some colored pencil 

My 4th quarter 7th graders did not disappoint with their spheres and creativity.
And these are pretty challenging;
trying to make the transitions in value seamless.
Let's take a look.

Richelle Valdez gives us a very delicate backdrop and a couple of cornerstones
which helps to anchor her sphere on such a large piece of paper.
A good solid design kiddo!

Sweet little Emma Yang gets playful by putting her sphere on top a piece of swiss cheese.
Notice how she placed her cornerstones,
in opposite corners.
Clever!

Sydney Eng gently brings in a touch of colored pencil
which pulls her design together.

I really like how Adelle Sarmiento bordered her backdrop using colored pencil for both.
Another solid piece!


And Bernette Xiao went all out with her creative design.
Wow!!!
So much to delight the eye.

Thank you sweet ones...missing you all!

  1. A classic assignment made much more interesting with colored pencil and whimsical backdrops.

    Sydney Eng's made me think of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's Le Petit Prince ... which I read in French many, many year's ago. The pictures saved me then, which is probably why I recall them to this day.
