Upcoming Due Dates (Weds. March 24)
| 7th GradeStudents have just finished up a wrapper collage drawing that is a Trompe l'oeil (trick of the eye). We will be learning about values and dramatic lighting while drawing a still life with our spot lights. We will finish up the time before spring break learning about using a grid to help improve drawing techniques. This class is on a 12 week rotation, therefore there will be no art grade on this report card. |
