6th Grade "Morandi Still Life" Drawings

Our 6th graders have been working hard this week on their drawings inspired by still paintings by Giorgio Morandi. We learned about adding value in our drawing with shading and stippling techniques.
Great examples pictured below:

What are we working on this week?

This week, 5th grade will be working on a Mondrian inspired project called, "Mondrian Nature."
6th grade will be learning about still life drawing and value on a Morandi inspired project simply titled the "Morandi Still Life Drawing." :)
Student work pics to come!

Intro to Drawing Week

Our introduction to drawing week went extremely well!
5th and 6th grade students worked on a step-by-step cartoon, comic-style comic drawing of a knight. An army of knights were created as hundreds were drawn!

The students will be taking theirs home this week so you can see their amazing skills in person. Our classes showed 100% success and I am pleased with the results.
Our goal from this activity was to show the students how they can make interesting, easy, and fun drawing by simply working with shapes and lines.

My goal was for every student to discover their own individual talents. I am looking forward to future projects with all of my class.
