3rd, 4th and 5th Realism- VALUEable Skulls

For this lesson we learned about Georgia O'Keefe and her REALISTIC skulls. We focused on making the value in our skulls look as real as possible but concentrating on the lightness and darkness of our pencil marks. We also created a value scale using colors in our background. Once we had finished, it was a little scary how REAL our skulls actually looked!  

1st and 2nd Realism- Gumball Machines

We just finished working on our "Real Gumballs." For this lesson, we talked about TEXTURE. We discovered that if we practiced drawing detailed texture, it would make our art look more REAL. For the background, we made striped wallpaper with texture rubbings that we had done. We tried to recreate the cold metal texture of the gumball machine, and the bright delicious texture of the gumballs. After, everyone was in the mood for candy because our art looked so real!
