VALUE! My favorite! :)

My 6th graders began their VALUE unit this week. It's the simplest, purest form of Art in my opinion and quite a challenge for young artists. For the next few weeks, we will be drawing from life (crumbled paper, shoes, hands, and a still life). Last year, my 6th graders had mixed feelings about this project at the beginning but ended up surprised and VERY proud of themselves at the end. I look forward to posting finished products and possibly some student testimonials!

I know! You're probably asking yourself..."Are these really 6th graders?"
