Collage Project

7th graders are currently learning about perspective: self in relation to others.

In order to continue exploring this theme, 

students created collages that reflected different groups of people and their values. 

For example, the collage from Period 2 and 3 on the left-hand side

reflects the Brookland neighborhood community and their values.

One Point Perspective Drawings

This past week, in 7th grade art, students began Unit II

(Perspective: Self in Relation to Others)

To begin thinking about this topic, 

students created a one-point perspective

pencil drawing of a city street that reflected their community.

The process involved using a ruler 

to draw lines leading to one vanishing point.

The results are below!
