Value Scale Drawing

This week, we drew portraits of the students at our Sister School, Oakridge Secondary school in London, Ontario. Soon, they will return the favor and create drawings of us!

This project was about focusing on shading and using a full range of a value scale.

Light Drawing

Today our Art One class tried our hand at drawing with light. We set the shutter speed to stay open at about 10 seconds. Next we cracked open some glow sticks and started drawing...

Personality Portraits

Second PhotoShop project. They each took photos of themselves with a frame. They could then change either the inside, outside, or both backgrounds of the frame as long as it showed a part of their personality.

Masking Tape Murals 2

Working in teams, we created masking tape murals throughout the school.



Yesterday we created thumbnail sketches of our ideas and then we practiced using the tape by creating images on the table. Today, we went into the halls and onto the walls..

Masking Tape Murals

We've talk a lot about line.. drawn a lot of line drawings.. contour line.. blind contour line... but to really draw with line, we should use something straight.. like tape.
