We are currently still working on our String Art, but we have also been doing a few warm up drawing exercises. First of all was the 30 second draw with a model. So a student volunteers to come be the model, and strike a pose that they have to hold for 30 seconds. The others have 30 seconds to draw as much as they can starting with the frame work, then adding details if there is time left over. We try to do about 6 of these to warm up our drawing skills before starting to work on projects.
Soon we will be trying to draw with pen, drawing with our eyes closed, drawing with your wrong hand, etc. These warm ups open your mind up to the different styles and ways to draw everyday.
This week's sketchbook assignment was to "Draw Something With Wings". Now there are a lot of items that have wings, but will you draw bugs because it's the first thing that comes to mind? Or will you think of a few other things that could "fly" that may also have wings? Let's see what the kids drew:
Sketchbook Winners:
Zero:
This is a drawing of a friend of ours (@monkeythepolydactyl) that passed away recently. When an animal crosses over the Rainbow Bridge we like to think that they have earned their wings
Sally:
Oogie Boogie:
Jack Skellington:
I think you all did an amazing job. Group Zero, you girls sure make my job very difficult. Somedays I have a hard time trying to pick a winner, other times I have to get the class to decide for me. Here are the 2 I was trying to decide between this week:
I love the mechanical wing! But something about drawing an animal, especially one that is polydactyl with extra toes, is a step up. But the decision was not easy at all. Keep making my job difficult! As much as it's a hard choice, I love what you girls are bringing in.
Next week's sketchbook assignment is to : "Draw Something Broken"
