I FORGOT HOW DELIGHTFUL THESE WERE

OIL PASTEL SPHERES

7TH GRADE ART WHEEL 2014-2015 4TH QUARTER

oil pastel on black paper

OMG,

that's right,

these are the work of 7th graders!!!!

So sophisticated for ones so young,

right???

These pieces make me crazy excited  :)

Not only have the little ones grasped the concept of light and shadow,

 but they are also shading in a color scheme they can name.

And then on top of that creating a balanced composition,

and for extra credit throwing in linear texture with lead pencil.

Like the ones above and below by Emma Yang and Megan Ly.

And then check out this one by Adele Sarmiento.

Notice the brave scale she is working to.

Notice the pointillism technique she has researched and is using like Monet.

And the quality is that of a professional.

Stunning!!!!
