Critical Elementary – Bunnies in Bed |
Today we illustrated an adorable drawing featuring cartoon bunnies during their bedtime. Each bunny was given a unique facial expression. We carefully planned our drawing, resulting in a balanced composition. The patterned quilt and striped wall were colored with vibrant, contrasting colors. We also learned the importance of color harmony.
Applying what you’ve learned: Colorful patterns can really enhance a drawing. Can you draw this composition again but with new patterns on the quilt? |
Critical Elementary – Van Gogh(Art History) |
Today we learned about one of the great master artists, Vincent Van Gogh. Inspired by Van Gogh’s sunflowers, we emulated his style and created a similar composition. Our sunflowers were very stylized with irregular circles and lines. This resulted in a very dynamic illustration. The use of warm colors brightened our drawing.
Applying what you’ve learned: Vincent Van Gogh had a very unique style that made his work memorable and groundbreaking. Can you develop a style of your own? |
Cartooning – Animal Characters |
Today we drew these animal portraits. Posing for photographs can be incredibly fun. We imagined ourselves taking the photographs of various cartoon animals. This lesson allowed us to explore facial expressions and figure poses. Vibrant colors reinforced the cartoon theme.
Applying what you’ve learned: Drawing portraits is excellent practice for illustrating faces. Can you draw more portraits featuring new animals with different expressions. |
Cartooning – Cactus Jokes |
Today we drew cactus jokes. We learned how to personify these prickly plants through the use of facial expressions, figure gestures, and clothing. The cacti were illustrated in humorous and relatable situations. These drawings strengthened our compositional skills.
Applying what you’ve learned: Unique plants, like cacti, make great characters. Can you create new characters from different plants? |
Cartooning – Baseball Characters |
Today we created a series of dynamic drawings centering around the popular sport of baseball. Through the use of facial expressions and body gestures, we personified inanimate baseball objects and transformed them into fully realized cartoon characters. The addition of action lines conveyed a sense of motion.
Applying what you’ve learned: Inanimate objects can be personified through the addition of facial expressions and figure poses. Can you create new characters from different sports equipment? |
Cartooning – Dog Thought Sequence |
Applying what you’ve learned: It’s fun to imagine what goes through the minds of our pets. Can you draw a new sequence featuring this hungry dog? |
