Seventh-graders discussed the color wheel, focusing on analogous and complementary colors, and created complementary color scales. We talked about color mixing, and the use of complementary colors to enrich a shadow or highlight. After several sketches, they made colored pencil drawings of fruit and vegetable still-lives, focusing on details of light and form. Students worked hard on their observation skills for this project, with beautiful results. These are hanging inside the art room, come visit and check them out!
