In this project, sixth grade challenged them selves to show value using pencils in these dragon eye drawings. We focused on trying to show where our light source was coming from by adding shadows and highlights to our eyes and surround scales. Students learned that pencils can have different values depending on the soft or hardness of the graphite. Here are some really awesome examples!

4th Grade: Modigliani Self Portraits
The portraits of Amedeo Modigliani are a bit strange to look at, which is probably why people were not fond of them when he first began to paint them. Over time they have become accepted and some people find them quite interesting. The figures have these elongated necks and faces, and slouchy shoulders. Using the Modigliani style, fourth grade created their own self portraits. We first looked at what the proportions of a face should be, and then what Modigliani did.
