This week, 3rd grade will be starting their Sandra Silberzweig inspired portraits. These portraits were also inspired by the awesome artwork of Cassie Stephens' students in Nashville! Here's an example of Sandra Silberzweig's art! I love the vibrant colors and designs she adds to her portraits! Here's how we did it! Day 1: We will talk about the artist, the students will see examples of her work, and will learn about her use of color and why she creates the way she does. Afterwards, I will demonstrate how to draw out the face, and how to use the liquid glue. (This is still a skill most children need to review) Once my demo is complete, we'll draw these out together on 9x12" black construction paper, (I like Tru-Ray the best!) but the students can add their own details to make their drawings unique. When their drawings are finished, the students will trace their portraits with regular, white, Elmer's Glue-Allor Elmer's Craft Bond glue. Some folks use black glue, but when the white glue dries clear on the black it has the same effect! The students place their art on a flat surface to dry, because the slanted drying rack may cause the glue to run, and we wait until the next class to add color with the chalk. Day 2: We'll talk about the color in Sandra Silberzweig's portraits again, and get to work! We'll be using chalk pastels, (not oil pastels like we normally do) It gets a little dusty and messy, but I love the look and coverage of chalk on this black paper! We use Sax chalk from School Specialty, and they work great! Here's their progress! They're doing such a fabulous job! We all drew these with me, but each one is so unique! I love how everyone added their own special touch to their pictures, and made them their own! Mrs. Stacey is so proud of you!
The 7th Graders have finished their "Shades of Summer" self portraits this week and I think they are amazing! Before we began the project, students did a pre-drawing of themselves by looking in a mirror (I tried to take some photos of those, but they were so lightly drawn and sketchy that I couldn't get anything that really showed up). The next step of the project was to use the grid method on a photograph to create a map for drawing their facial features and outlines. This method helps students stop drawing symbols of lips, eyes, hair, etc. like in the examples above, and actually draw their correctly proportioned and uniquely shaped features. They added value (shading) with various graphite pencils to make their portraits appear three dimensional, had an art critique, and then used watercolor pencils to create a reflection depicting a summer memory in their sunglasses... I hope these artists are proud of the work- I sure am! And a bonus, because this picture cracks me up :)
