Helping Others

Today I assigned our next homework drawing, which is due Wednesday, Sept. 30. The students are to complete a drawing with the theme "Helping Others" for a contest sponsored by Stephan's Jewelers and Pioneer Center. Stephan's will be creating and selling a charm to sell this holiday season that will also benefit the Pioneer Center. The charm design will be taken from a drawing completed by a McHenry County student. Read more about the contest on my website, listed under ART CONTESTS, Design a Charm to Benefit Pioneer Center. Today Danielle, Nick, Liz and Phil finished their final drawings. Nick's drawing is red and black, bold, simple, and well designed. Danielle's view is up close, purple and aesthetically pleasing. Phil has a cool fiery shape radiating from his circular enlargement of the skeleton. Liz's is deep and insightful. Her original circle took some interesting turns and her abstractions are intriguing. Students who finish first are working on some shading exercises and may work on their homework assignment.
