Detailed Faces: A Kindergarten Perspective

We practiced drawing more detailed faces this week and today was the day where I had them draw without my help. This is one example from the class. This drawing was done in a 25 minutes.

Fairly Odd: Poof Drawing

This a fifth grade example from the Poof directed drawing lesson. I'm under the firm belief that if students draw what they like whether it's a cartoon character or a family member they will look for the important details. This drawing takes so much consideration for Poof's details.

Hooked on Bug Jars

This is a 7th grade result from the bug jar activity. This student took a different approach and included all under water scenery with sea life. Everything was well planned out. Next the student will be adding color to the drawing.

Bug Jar Landscapes

I wanted to have the students to do something fun to close out the concept of line drawing so I spliced the idea of a bug jar art lesson with landscapes. The students were to draw a jar with some sort of landscape inside and use something of their choice within the background. This 8th grade student made their own version of Fairy World from memory and put their bug jar on a book shelf.

Detailed Eyes

The students from K-2 were making people with more detailed eyes. This is a second grade example from the lesson. There is a tutorial of how to make eyes that says in the room. We also talked about how the letter J can be used to make noses.

This is an eighth grade result from the fruit bowls. Eighth grade wasn't originally going to do fruit bowls but after the results posted in the school for the other students it was requested by the class to do the fruit bowl assignment too.

Hand part 3

This is a seventh grade result from the final part to the Hand drawing lesson. It was completed a bit ago but I wanted to include it in the blog. This one is very colorful but also makes the hand still stand out.

This is another fruit bowl result from a 4th grader.

This is a third grader's example from the fruit bowl assignment.

This is another 3rd grade result from the fruit bowls. This bowl is very expressive. The student wanted to bring out the curves of the bowl.

Fruit Bowls

Students were to use lines to create a line drawing of a fruit bowl. Then they used color and other details to embellish their work. This is a 3rd grade result that exemplifies the overlapping technique.
