Last class before Spring Break!

We are currently working on our Faux Stained Glass. Some have finished the outline and are starting to fill in our "glass" sections. I'm excited to see how quickly these are coming together.

I will post a few completed projects soon!

Last weeks Sketchbook Assignment was to"

"Draw Something That Makes Sound"

Here are the group winners:

Beauty & the Beast Group

The cranky banging shower head that makes me want to plug my ears

Finding Dory Group

Only open your Smarties under a pillow as quiet as possible, that way you don't have to share with your family

Wall.E Group

Camping is the best sound ever. No noise, just nature!

I'm impressed that you all did not just draw a musical instrument and call it a day. You all went outside the box and put a lot of thought into what kind of sound you wanted to draw. So this week I chose winners that drew unusual sounds that were important to you. 

Next week is Spring Break and I'm asking you to do not one but two sketchbook assignments during your week off. First off is a colouring assignment, as this does lead into our next assignment. So each student will choose a Disney Adult Colouring page to colour. I would like you to use some of the techniques demonstrated in class to colour this page. Use different types of pressure with the same pencil crayon to obtain different colours. I'd also like to see you try to use different colours to create highlights and shadows in the same shape.  Layer as much colour as you can!

Here are a few examples:

These were found on Deviant Art, by artist Akili-Amethyst. 

I have also asked that in your sketchbooks you draw a Google Doodle for their newest contest.

Where do you see Canada in the next 150 years? Can you draw that into the Google logo? I can't wait to see it....
