oil pastels on black construction paper with graphite accents
Put Oil Pastels in 7th graders hands after a quick demo. and watch them take off.
They love them and visa versa!
Let me show you.
Everyone was really impressed that Pearl Wang turned hers into an ornament,
and created such nice branches as a backdrop,
even managing to put the required cast shadow into those branches.
And Heer Patel went for the extra credit
by Zentangling with a blunt pencil after laying down her background.
Bhumika Kalaimalai created so much movement in her backdrop,
while putting in a lot of value into both her sphere and foreground.
Then balancing her exciting back by bringing texture into her foreground.
We all loved the amazingly realistic teal sphere that Eric Liao put down.
And Tiffany Cheng brings in so much wonderful texture into all sections.
And very brave Anisha Hemnani was super successful trying her hand at pointilism.
Let these sweet 7th graders know what you think of their work.
They get so excited to see your comments!
Pearl's complementary red and green absolutely glows with life ... and I too appreciate Heer's glowing zentangles, Bhumika's fore and back grounds so tenderly wrought, Eric's glowing cloud, and the diffuse edges in both Tiffany and Anisha's spheres.
ReplyDeleteThis must have been an exciting class to teach!
It was a delightful group, many of whom are back this year in my 2 & 3-D classes. :)
DeleteThey are all sooooo different. The red one could just as easily be an apple. There's the texture of driftwood, of movement, of an aurora!
