Drawing People

8th Grade Art
The 8th Grade students completed their drawings of people in historical attire this week.  I was really proud of their effort.  Everyone is always fearful when it comes to drawing people.  As I walked the room, I heard over and over again, "I can't draw people".  We talked about drawing what we see and not worrying about those lines as "lips" or "noses".  Just thinking of them as lines.  It helped.  I am very happy with the outcome and think they created some interesting drawings.  
The students worked from engravings (copyright free) from clipartetc.
Here are some samples of their work!






















Coming soon.....

Hopefully, the Rose paintings will be complete in time for Valentine's Day.
