8th Grade: Shattered Images

Eight grade have been working on Value, one of the seven Elements of Art. Value refers to the lightness and darkness of a tones or color.
For this project we used observational drawing skills to recreate an image of a bird or other animal using simple contour lines. After that, we divided our paper using five lines going across our paper; curved or straight both work. If the lines went through our animal even better, the more spaces in our creature the better.

They then used these spaces to demonstrate their skills in creating gradation of values from the darkest dark all the way to white. I suggested that in each space that they angled their value slightly differently so their image would stand out.
They turned out amazing!


I love that he added patterns on top of his shading.
He figured out this style himself. Way to go!
