Stuffed Animals

Students designed and created these cute stuffed animals, or Mascots as we call them, because they are good luck charms!  Students learned how to sew by hand, including the running stitch and oversewing stitch.

 

 

Awesome job!!!

7th Gr. Self-Portraits

This project serves as a great opportunity for the students to really get creative and express themselves.  The drawing and painting shows the student's interests and personality and showcases exaggerated and original drawings as well as watercolor techniques.  Very fun project!

Awesome job!

7th Gr. Bookmark Design Competition

Awesome job!

7th Gr. Artist Trading Cards

Artist Trading Cards (ATC) are miniature artworks done on paper the size of playing cards and are traded when finished.  You can do anything you want on an ATC including drawing, painting, collage (cutting up paper or magazines and gluing the pieces down in a different way).  We worked on using different watercolor techniques and using creativity!

One of my 7th grade classes work on their cake project made it onto the Dublin City Schools District Facebook page!  We're famous! :)

7th Gr. Gridded Drawings

Students worked to apply all of their drawing skills learned in this project.  They learned about photo-realist painter Chuck Close who uses grids to create hyper-realistic artworks. Students took a photograph (seen in post below) and gridded it and their drawing paper and copied the photograph square by square.  They did a wonderful job and greatly improved their drawing skills!
