Pinconning HS Art Room-Pinconning Area Schools: September 2013

Greetings! We will continue to explore the elements of art, with a focus on TEXTURE. Students will create leaf foil relief's with ink rubbings for real texture, and will paint birch trees to explore implied texture & the importance of NOT FORGETTING texture in art (example: a tree trunk should not be painted solid brown- it will look smooth, but bark is NOT smooth, it's rough...what's an artist to do???? FIND OUT IN THE ARTROOM:)) Independent practice will be an advanced charcoal drawing bringing all the elements together (minus color).
