It has been too long since I have posted anything, and I'm not even going to get into making excuses for the lapse in my creative journey...life happens.
Since this week is Thanksgiving, I decided to do a cornucopia. This was originally planned as a project for some students, so the first picture here is a rough ball point pen sketch from memory during a staff meeting.
The second one is my demonstration piece that I did in front of 50 or so third through sixth graders. They were not a real focused bunch as this was an afterschool activity and they were more than ready for their Thanksgiving break. So the piece is kind of rushed and done in several different intervals as I walked around the room. The paper is 9x12" black construction paper with a mix of chalk and oil pastels. Once it was finished, it was sprayed with hair spray to prevent further smudging (but also caused curling due to the low quality paper).
Some of the students' pieces turned out really well, and I'm disappointed I didn't get a chance to take pictures of them. Overall I think the students enjoyed the project.
