6th - 7th Grade
Mediums
Charcoal Drawing
Charcoal is a classical art material. It can be used for quick studies as well as developed finished artwork. The wide, sweeping marks made by a charcoal stick are very satisfying. There is a lot of push and pull developing the highlights in the shadows of the subject matter. Charcoal drawings display a lot of energy.
Water Color Painting
With the medium of watercolor paint, the student transfers their knowledge of color mixing into this new material and adds the component of transparent washes. Students learn how to create depth of field by adjusting the brightness or richness of the paint wash. Additionally, they learn about how to use stroke direction and size to create visual texture.
Collage
The leftover papers generated in the process of artmaking, teaching, or living life can be repurposed to express imagery and symbolism in a collage. These papers are rich in pattern, texture, color, and meaning that add to artistic expression. Students draw in pencil or charcoal then add drawing with scissors to create a collaged that is greater than its parts and more interesting overall.
*This is not a comprehensive list of mediums are taught, rather examples of projects from the past.
Be Aware.
Sometimes you just need to get outside, breathe fresh air, and draw the world around you.
