Pastels Collection (the Assignment) – Grade 7-8

This assignment consists of 2 parts:

• Part 1: technical foundations – whole class (May 5^th)
• Part 2: The “Common Piece” (fruit/object) – Mastering colour theory with fruit drawings (May 6^th)

Yesterday we did Part 1 and today we will do Part 2 (see below).

Part 2: The “Common Piece” (Fruit/Object)

These tutorials focus on building volume and realistic color depth using a single subject, which is perfect for a guided class activity.

• Mastering Color Theory with Fruit Drawings – This is great for senior students because it pushes them to think about color relationships rather than just “coloring in” the fruit.

When you are finished your Fruit Drawings, you are free to hand in your Pastel Projects and move on to your Personal Portfolios and Presentations. Tomorrow we will review the presentation expectations and you will get a clear idea of how to prepare.
