Making Unity

            In studio class, the students began working on their squares from Twilight. The students understood how the pieces were going to fit together after they did a small worksheet of a lion and they saw pervious student work. They students were inspired and understood that they were responsible for creating the shapes perfectly in their square in order to make the whole image come together in unity.

      Many of the students finished some of their squares and began to hang them up. It is interesting to see how the pieces come together and if the students really looked closely at the different values and shapes.

       This week in my drawing and painting class, the students began to learn about different hues and combinations of hues. For starters, the students had to make a color wheel with blocks of color from a magazine. Many of the students found difficulty in this. Students did not know how to identify where the color should be in the color wheel coming from a picture. I pointed out different hues and made it clear to the students which should belong where. I also helped a student with a disability collect all the images and place them together.

 

     Next the students had to create a grid where next class they will fill out. They must choose one color and make the variations of tints to white and shades too black.

Lastly in yearbook class the girls had to make an announcement that retakes for school pictures were coming up. Mrs. Valenti and I were responsible for handing out the forms. It is a lot of work to keep the yearbook class in line.
