Art 8 students spent the last block drawing from discarded cans and bottles. We are sharpening our observational drawing skills and learning to use our eyes to see instead of our brains. Practicing good oservation makes for better drawing skill!
We have been discussing the idea of juxtposition in artwork. Juxtapose means to place two things that are opposites next to each other in an artwork. For this assignment, we are exploring this concept with the cans and flowers, which will be added later: contrasting man-made versus nature, ugly versus beautiful.
Once our drawings are complete, we will be adding color using some of the watercolor techniques we learned on our "Water Exploration" days.
