LET'S GET IT STARTED WITH THE FIRST ASSIGNMENT OF THE 2015-2016 SCHOOL YEAR

VALUE SCALES

INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED 2-D ART

This is a refresher assignment for my 2nd and 3rd year drawing students,

at the beginning of the year,

to loosen them up and get them back in that right brain zone.

For my Intermediate kids,

they were required to draw a 10 step value scale,

and my 2 Advanced boys had to do a 15 step scale.

Extremely difficult!

So let's start with the Intermediate group.

Senior Katherine Ku gives us this really cool atmospheric treeline,

perfect for the fall season.

Clever senior Bernice Lin has her numbers falling off her wrist watch,

and she has added a touch of color with colored pencil for a special something.

We all love senior Rishsa Bhakta's shading style.

It's so unique and uniform throughout her piece.

And gentle senior Kyla Balquin has drawn the most exquisite butterfly.

A self portrait perhaps

My Advanced Boys

Here is senior Jonathan Hsu's wonderful design,

and below senior Elias Rodriguez gives us another thought provoking work.

Brilliant beginnings all of you!
