April Newsletter
As the third marking period ends and we begin the final marking period, I am excited for spring (despite this crazy snow storm today) and wanted to share some of our beautiful nature drawings that students created last month.
Surreal Drawing
This month, we are wrapping up our drawing unit with studying perspective drawing. Perspective drawing helps create the illusion of space and form in a flat work of art. Students also studied Surrealism, a style of art that mixes dreams with the imagination to create strange and unusual works of art. After exploring several Surrealist tools used by artists like Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali, students will combine perspective drawing and surrealism into a creative work of art.
