Art 1 classes will be completing some drawing exercises aimed at refreshing our realistic drawing skills. Both group and individual grid drawings will challenge students to focus on drawing from reality instead of perception. First, an upside-down grid drawing based on a Picasso or Degas sketch. Next, a Pop Art self portrait painted on canvas using a grid drawing base. Lastly, students will create a group painting on canvas, each student completing one piece of the overall grid.
Advanced Art classes will be working on the 12 Peppers project. For this work of art, students will be creating 12 identical images on 4x4" paper of a fruit, vegetable, or an everyday object as subject, creating each one using a different medium. All 12 pieces will be mounted to one board to create one work of art. As always, a full IW should accompany each project.
