High School Art Students Scrubbing Grouds

6th grade artwork - Imagination/Observation
First students had to construct a totally imaginary face where each shape is interesting and cut out of colored paper without any prior drawing. This took one class hour to complete. The next week, students were asked to use pencils to draw the constructed face to get a very close likeness to the constructed one. Then the drawn version was to be colored with matching crayon. They did a very nice job on these.

Silly Contour Hair-dos
This 5th grade contour line lesson started out as five to seven random dots placed on a sheet of 9x12 paper. Lines are drawn in a continuation from one end of the paper to the first dot, then second dot, third, and so on to the other end of the paper. The faces were drawn on last and color was optional. Fun to do.
