Self Portraits in Tints and Shades

The second grade has been learning about self portraits, tint, and shades of color. They began by learning how to draw a self portrait in profile.

Once the sketch was finished they made a value scale to learn how to make colors lighter and darker.

They were able to take what they learned about tints and shades and apply that to their self portrait.

Next the students made ice cream cones with ice cream that is painted in tints of one color. 

Finally the students put everything together.

New School Year 2015-2016

I am getting so excited about the new school year! The last week of school before summer break, each student made a small drawings of themselves. Every student in the school also made a speech bubble with their favorite thing about OCPS. All if the art is on display in the hall to welcome everyone back to school.
