7th Grade Still Life Drawing

They did an Excellent job apply their drawing skills on this still life!

6th Grade One-Point Perspective Objects

Students learned how to draw in one-point perspective.  Drawing in perspective helps the artist achieve realism, depth, and space in the artwork.  They also considered the composition of their artwork and carefully balanced the objects on the page.  Students applied their knowledge by drawing square or rectangle objects flying towards you in space!

This students use of foil to create mirrors was very creative!

A little about me:

I teach 6th and 8th grade Art and coach softball at the middle school my husband and I attended back in the day and I love it!  My favorite part of being an Art educator is seeing students' creativity and helping them problem solve and figure out how to make their ideas happen.  I am pretty sure that I have the best job in the world.
