Sixth grade students practiced how to turn shapes into 3D forms using shading and perspective in their sketchbooks. Then they used the forms they learned to draw a helpful robot and shaded it with charcoal pencils. Some students chose to cut out the robot and glue it to construction paper if their background got messy. Here are some sixth graders hard at work... Here are some of the finished robots!
6th graders used either their name or an affinity to create a 3D city. They used a vanishing point and one-point perspective to create the depth. They used sharpies, colored pencils, and crayons to finish them.
Check out the video from the menu on the left to try it for yourself! Sixth grade painting challenge: There is an undeveloped piece of land in your community. What do you think should be there? What would be the most beneficial to the community? Students came up with a park, movie theater, mall, playground, airport, sports fields, graveyard, memorial, library, and many more ideas! 6th graders drew a special place and carved it out of linoleum. They printed it using brayers and many colors of ink and paper.
6th graders used a pencil eraser to paint these awesome self portraits. They learned about artist Chuck Close who used a grid and small circles of paint to create photo realistic portraits.
Sixth graders learned how to create letters in one-point perspective. They wrote their names in block letters and then connected the sides to one vanishing point on the horizon line. They added architectural details to the letters to make them look like shops, restaurants, and houses.
Students in 6th grade chose a word that is important to them. It could be an affinity, their name, or a character trait. They illustrated that word by designing their of own font, and adding imagery to illustrated the word. They used crayon and colored pencil techniques after they outlined with Sharpie marker. These illustrations will be sent to Square 1 Art.
Sixth graders designed a vessel of exploration from either the past, present, or future. They used many collage technique such as tearing, revealing lines, hole punching, and layering. The tables may have been a mess while they were working, but it was worth it.
![]() Pablo Picasso painted with many different styles. For hundreds of years artists tried very hard to paint things so they would look real. Then Picasso came along and started to paint people and things that didn't look the way they were supposed to look. Many of Picasso's paintings look funny because of the way he moves the eyes, noses, and chins around. 6th graders learned about abstraction techniques and painting techniques. |
