Dreamy! Surrealism... Collages into Drawings

That's Surreal!! The 7th grade students have been working on Surrealist collages... They have taken magazines and created three collages, drew a grid on them with a ball point pen, and then have enlarged them with a light pencil. They are using colored pencils and other materials to shade them in (blending, shading, etc... color matching). More to come! 

 

Brooke Davidson- Textile Queen!

Miss Davidson has this crew entranced. They are loving 1) having a new teacher for a while (fresh face and ideas!), 2) having someone younger (sad, but true!), 3) working on the wallpaper instead of regular paper, 4) redesigning the old patterns, 4) working on something abstract, versus real, and 5) experimenting with different materials! This is great. More to come... 

That's Surreal!!

Here are some of the collage images... they turned them into drawings :) Dreamy!

That's Surreal!

Here are our surrealistic collages and the final drawings that the sixth graders are working on... 

Again, they were inspired by Kush and Dali!
