This week we read Tomasso and the Missing Line by Matteo Pericoli. The book is about a little boy that carries a drawing he created in his pocket and one day he discovers the horizon line is missing. Through this story he takes a journey and discovers many different types of lines that make up drawings and in the end he finds his missing horizon line.
After the story we looked at work from Vincent Van Gogh to help students see how artists illustrate things in the foreground smaller and things in the background larger. We talked about horizon line, foreground, middle and background. Students used their pencils to create a drawing demonstrating these things.
The drawings are great representation of what they learned today. It is fun to see their interest and enthusiasm when their drawings take shape!
The upper level experimented with one point perspective drawing. This was new to many students but they were all eager to learn and try. They did amazing! I can tell they are excited to keep going with it next week!
Have a great weekend!
ps Look at the yellow frame in the window of the office. The school self portraits are done and they are adorable!
