NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK

VALUE SCALES

7TH GRADE ART WHEEL - 3RD QUARTER - 2016-2017

graphite on paper

Oh my, oh my.

I got me some new younguns for 8 weeks

and they are crazy wonderful.

They take instruction and demonstrations and apply them so creatively as you will see.

We are starting with Gail Baltazar who blew me away with this sophisticated work above.

Most children this age do not know how to compose a balanced artwork

or know how to completely fill up a paper.

Not this young lady.

Every single assignment was brilliant as I was to find out.

Next up we have Bianca Pagal with this beautifully crafted work.

Something else young ones this age usually don't know to do is to draw to the edge of the paper

and let the composition go off.

This was something that Bianca innately knew to do.

Loanvy Dang showed us this very playful side of her by doing some fun Zentangling 

inside her butterfly.

And the implied line adds so much to this wonderful piece.

Another very adult piece was done by Tiffany Cheng.

Just beautiful!

And we end with Pearl Wang,

who came in with these incredible drawing skills.

It just baffles me that kids so young can draw like this.

Look at the way she uses her pencil so consistently,

those amazing diagonal strokes that create texture along the bamboo.

Then the soft way she applies the pencil along the leaves.

Pearl,

you ae so gifted

and you rocked this assignment!
