Kluender Art 8

Mrs. Kluender's Art 8 students (A3, A4, B3) spent the last block learning to create value in paint! So far this year, we've done value in grayscale pencil and in colored pencil.

We learned how to mix paint to make tints and shades to create a vlaue scale. Then, we applied those shading skills to a 2D drawing of a bottle to create the illusion of depth using value!

This is most of my Art 8 students first time attempting to paint something using shading, so it was difficult.....but they did a great job!

Part of learning to paint in the studio is learning to maintain a shared studio space. We have a bit of practice to do on conserving paint and studio clean up, but we're working on it...We're all working together to keep our workspace safe and clean! :)

Once students have finished cutting out their cardboard objects, they will apply these painting techniques to them. Their goal is to make the 2D cardboard objects appear to be 3D by applying the shading techniques in paint!
