Felt Pen Landscapes Grade 7

I borrowed this idea from another art teacher and for the life of me I can't find her/his link so could pass it along. Sorry. My spin on this project was to focus on lines, pattern, and color as if we were taking a trip down the Nile between Aswan and Luxor. Sure we talked about space (fore, middle and background) and overlapping when creating the underdrawing. I'm pleased with the results and this might have to go into yearly rotation. Try it with your kids!

Chalk Pastel Landscapes

Last year it was 2-point perspective cityscapes and I'm not quite sure what has gotten into me this year. Our friend on campus downloaded a ton of Bob Ross episodes so I'm going to blame him for this. If you don't know who Bob Ross and his happy little squirrels are, consider yourself lucky or deprived.

The objectives for the students were to experiment with a complimentary colors scheme when shading (though some didn't do this) and mixing colors by adding one over the other to create a sense of heaviness. You might notice chalk lines on several of the pieces. The drawings are huge 19 x 25 inches so it created a nice little dust storm in the room.
