8th grade Silhouette Paintings


8th graders have been working with painting to demonstrate value.  The goal of the assignment was to mix colors together to go from light to dark in the bands surrounding the silhouette.  The most difficult part for most students was controlling the amount of paint they used—I kept reminding them that in order to waste less paint, always mix the darker color into the light (I feel like I am saying that in my sleep).  Another successful assignment from my 8th graders.  They loved working with the subject of their choice, and using paint to create the end design.  It’s been a messy assignment, but a fun one with great results!
