Fall leaves in Chalk and Glue

The 7th Grade classes learned about blending colors with Square-Chalk Pastels. First they drew different leaf designs and balanced their papers. Then, with Elmer's Glue, they outline the leaves. Once the glue is dry, they added a variety of colors and blended them to create a nice fall like picture.











Nature Landscapes

The 6th grade classes completed a composition in colored pencil and marker. We practiced drawing by shape and blending colors. Everyone's goal was to create a realistic landscape with at least two ducks, a horizon line, and a complete background. Here are some outstanding examples. Great Job Sixth Graders. See more pictures like this in the FCJHS Fine Arts Night, Wednesday, October 28th at 7pm.
