We know that real form is found in practically everything...you, a water bottle, and the computer monitor you are looking at right now. However, an artist can make you believe that you are seeing form...just like in Mason's drawing to the left. Be sure to check out the video of Steven telling how he made his cone project. The students discovered that lines and value, which are also elements of art, play a big part in making this transformation of a 3-D appearance on a 2-D surface. The sixth grade classes are taking a circle and making it appear to be a sphere. Also check out the video of Kaila, Kaitlyn, and Leilani as they show that process. I do hope the videos work properly. This is my first attempt at filming students in action, editing, and uploading to You Tube. I know that comes as no surprise to you professionals, but I'm rather proud of what we've done this week. I do know that several other students are eager to receive their 15 seconds of fame...so keep an eye out for more videos and pictures. This summer for VBS, I painted a large pencil onto foam board. I brought it to school so the students could see an example of how light, medium, and dark values can create a 3-D like appearance. Plus, it's also a great decoration for an art room.
