3rd grade update

Third graders have been very busy lately, finishing up our shaded still life drawings and beginning our ATC's - Artist Trading Cards - which we will be sending off to schools around the country and even a few other countries.  We are getting excited about making our trades, so check out a sneak peek of what we've been putting together (below the still life drawings):

finding value changes within the hues

drawing from observation

this student added streaks of light coming from our overhead lighting after discussing the "light source"

s stylistic approach

using cool colors for shadows instead of darker value

nice color scheme

love the patterns

varieties and values of orange


This is just a preview of the ATC's in progress - we will post some pics of the
final product after the cards have been sent.....

    They are Legos, but actually stamped using ink pads. Thanks!

    I love the patterns created by the Lego stamps. What a great idea!
