8th Grade Snow days Assignment: Due when we return on Wednesday, Feb. 19
Watch on TV or the internet, a Sochi Olympics winter event such as figure skating, alpine skiing, snow boarding, freestyle skiing, hockey, etc. The Purpose of viewing these events is to notice the movement of the figures. Movement of the figure and movement in composition is our focus as we move into our next assignment.
Our last day together we focused on creating the color wheel using the three primary colors. You were asked to develop each color circle with a hard, controlled edge with an even surface. When you return, you will be capturing the movement of Sochi athletes using a painterly, brushy technique. We will connect our curriculum with P.E. and our upcoming games at the McClure Olympics.
Your paintings will adorn the walls, and all who view them will feel the excitement of movement of both figure and composition. Your painting technique or style will enhance this.
