In Art Class, the 6th graders learned about value, the scale from light dark. They first practiced drawing and shading wooden blocks. Then the students practiced drawing toy cars, taking the skills learned from the 3-d shape drawing because cars are just complex three dimensional shapes. Once they chose a favorite car, the students drew that car, added charcoal pencil shading and placed the car in an interesting setting. Finally, they added watercolor paint to the composition.
