Due to high enrollment at my school this year, Hesby Oaks Leadership Charter, in Encino, Ca., I no longer have an art room. Going class to class does not make my job easy, but I am doing my best to provide the same quality of art lessons that I have provided in past school years.
There are 40+ students in each of my sixth grade classes. Setting up a still life for them that they can all see and work from just isn’t possible. All of the students work from my examples on the board, as I walk them through the steps of creating a value study in charcoal.
Using compressed charcoal, we put in our medium value background.
Then sketched our cups.
Added our dark values.
Using a pink eraser, we erased out our lightest values.
No art room and huge classes. Fantastic results, keep up the good work.
Thanks Sarah!
You results are wonderful. I am going to stop complaining about 32 students in each of my fourth grade classes. Thanks.
Lol!!! Thanks! 32 is a lot, but it’s all about the dynamics of the class. Right now I find myself complaining about a class that only has 20, but the are a handful!
