5th Grade Self Portrait Collage

5th Grade artists are studying the genre of self-portraits. Using analogous colors, they painted their backgrounds (canvas board). Then after carefully studying their facial proportions, they drew their own self-portraits. Finally, they considered what types of things makes them unique and used a variety of materials in a collage to create their own fantastic artworks!

4th Grade Edgar Degas Figure Drawing

4th graders studies the art and life of Edgar Degas. Degas liked to draw subjects in movement like ballerinas and horses. We studied how to draw people with correct proportions. We then chose a figure in movement with correct proportions, showed blending, value and space, and painted with watercolor. They are all so unique and make a wonderful collection in our hallway!
