Jazz Multi Media Project



In our Red 2 art class the kids have been working on their last project, a multi media project. They had to create images of music and people. They created their people using one of the following medias and then their music with the other. They could choose from charcoal or chalk and watercolors. I choose to draw my jazz musician using charcoal and then my sign, sax and notes from watercolors. They then had to combine the two images. While it is not possible to see it from this picture the music lifts off the page in several places before joining with the music that I drew in charcoal. I also used foam board to raise the sax and jazz sign up off the page. It is more of a 3D project than it looks.

Line drawings


Today in Black 2 art class we are learning about line by drawing the zebras. The kids had to have composition and only use black and white lines. I have added 4 words to the zebra's stripes. Can you find them? There are parts of 6 zebras in this drawing. Happy hunting!
