The 8th grade has completed some amazing work.

Objectives: 

• Introduce the students to the concept of using line to create value
• Introduce the students to the concept of still life as related objects
• Introduce the students to the concept of repetition of shape within a composition
• Introduce the students to drawing realistically and model techniques to achieve a realistic drawing

Massachusetts Frameworks:

1.5 Expand the repertoire of 2D and 3D art processes, techniques, and materials with a focus on the range of effects possible within each medium

1.7 Use the appropriate vocabulary related to the methods, materials, and techniques students have learned and used in grades PreK-8

1.8 Maintain the workspace, materials, and tools responsibly and safely

2.8 For line, use and be able to identify various types of line

2.11 For space and composition, create unified 2D and 3D compositions that demonstrate an understanding of balance, repetition, rhythm, scale, proportion, unity, harmony, and emphasis.  Create 2D compositions that give the illusion of 3D space and volume

3.4 Create 2D and 3D representational artwork from direct observation in order to develop skills of perception, discrimination, physical coordination, and memory of detail
