They read a Scholastic Art magazine article and then practiced identifying the elements in famous works of art. This week students have been learning specifically about the elements of line and shape. They learned how to use shape to create a mirror image in a work of art. Next week they will use oil pastels to color their mirror images. Click HERE to learn more about this project. 7th/8th Grade Art
