Dot art

This is a dot activity to show creativity in your work. Students had to incorporate different mediums in their work. 

 An extension activity to do with students about boosting their confidence in their artwork is having them keep a sketchbook. I would have them draw a drawing every day of class so that they start feeling comfortable with their drawings. They will have to share their drawing with at least one person in the class so that they feel comfortable sharing with their peers.

Perspective Drawing

  Description: For this assignment, our classmates taught us how to draw with perspective. We had to draw at least four squares in half of the paper, then draw lines from the corners of the squares to the middle of the paper. After that we went over those lines with black sharpie to make the lines stand out. Then we had to pick two of the patterns from their slide show and come up with two of our own to put in the squares. After that we used oil pastels to create at least three different combinations. Extension activity: I would teach the students about buildings and how they have perspective as well. For the assignment they will have to choose a building in their town and draw it. They will research the building and find pictures on the internet. After that they will draw the building showing shading and perspective.

We started the lesson off by learning about drawing upside down and how it is beneficial to learn that way. When you draw upside down, you are not worrying about what you are drawing like the small details, but the outline of the object. I chose to draw an elephant because I thought it would be a little easier than the other choices. After drawing the elephant upside down with a cool color, we then had to add three different shapes or lines to our project with warm colors. I chose to do red lines, orange diamonds, and yellow swirls. After finishing our project we had to glue it to our background and write on the index card three clues about our animal.  Extension Activity: For this extension activity, I would teach the students about their primary and secondary colors. Students would have a worksheet where they have to label the primary and secondary colors that they u...
