5th Grade: Drawing, Drawing, & Drawing!

Wow, 5th graders love to draw! We are about to move into our painting unit soon but Old High 5th graders have been busy over the past month learning about drawing and gaining confidence with their individual abilities.
We started out the year with cartooning and learning how to create interesting characters with simple shapes. Below are some samples of our cartoon knights.
We have moved into Mondrian inspired drawings. There are a couple pictured below and I will be sure to post more soon.

Some Piet Mondrian inspired drawings (more to come):

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!

Drawing practice!

Stay sharp on those drawing skills this summer with the "Art Is Life 30 Day Challenge." This was shared to me from my co-worker Mrs. Burris and is a great idea to keep those sketchbooks full! If you're on Instagram be sure to tag your drawings #OHMSsummerart2014
