Student in 6th grade Art are practicing the basic steps in the drawing process. The worksheet that they are working on has a reference picture. Having an image of what you want to draw is the first step. The second step is to lightly draw the basic shapes that make up your image. Checking the size and placement of the basic shapes is the next step. Then you start to refine your drawing by adding contour lines, details, color, shading, and texture. Before students started on these worksheets Mr. O did a demonstration of these steps. During the demonstration students questioned the need to follow these steps. Mr. O gave the analogy that just like math you have to show and follow certain steps in order to check your work and make corrections to help you get the to the right answer. You can see in these pictures students working hard and enjoying some success. In 6th grade I&S class we have been studying ancient Egypt.

After reading chapter 5 of The Outsiders and encountering the Robert Frost poem, Nothing Gold Can Stay, the 7th grade digs deeper into his poetry. They work collaboratively to analyze several of his poems which leads to an individual analysis writing on a Frost poem of their choosing. 8th grade MYP projects are fully underway as students begin to take action.
