These drawings were done by our 3rd and 6th grade art class earlier this year. They are monochromatic drawings using white colored pencil on black construction paper, which is different than most monochromatic drawings that are usually done on white paper with gray or black pencils.

Every year through GSACS (Garden State Association of Christian Schools) our students participate in a Fine Arts Day with a number of other schools. These are the pieces that were entered for the 2009 Jr. High Fine Arts Competition.

Third Quarter Sketchbook Series

Megan Kobus — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:58:26 +0000

For third quarter in art class, the weekly sketchbook assignment is a little different than normal. Taking some principles from the book Visual Literacy, the class must take an ordinary, everyday object and make it interesting. An example of this would be taking a dinner plate and drawing it as a flying saucer. The object they must draw is assigned, but it is up to each student to think of a way to creatively draw the ordinary object as something extraordinary. For the first assignment, the object was a doorknob; everyone’s drawings were quite ingenious.

Art Class Monochromatic Drawings

Megan Kobus — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 18:46:08 +0000

Our art classes have been doing monochromatic drawings as of late. The tendency is to think of monochromatic drawings as being pencil or pen drawings - a black medium on white paper. However, monochromatic drawings can also consist of black and white pencil on brown paper, or even white pencil on black paper; which the following drawings all are. The drawings are all arranged by art class, along with a photo of the students in that specific class. You will be amazed at the incredible talent you will see.

First and Third Grade Class ~ Andrew and Leah

Sixth Grade Class ~ Joshua and Derek

Seventh and Eight Grade Class ~ Jordan, Matthew, Brandon and Renee

Twelfth Grade Class ~ Brittany

Dedicated to Jared’s son Luke, the book abounds with stories that encourage children to learn how to be good neighbors and even better friends. You can read the book by following this link.

For first quarter in Art Class, the kids all learned watercoloring. Because we have a small school, the art classes are sometimes combined. This quarter the first, third, and sixth graders all learned how to watercolor for the first time; using
First Steps Painting Watercolors by Cathy Johnson.

The results were absolutely astounding!
