Over a couple of evenings, I managed to get this bad boy complete. It was very similarly to my Stay Sharp pencils. I will say, mixing up a gradient is no joke, especially when you do it over the course of a couple of days. I did struggle a couple of times getting colors to great an even value scale.
Once the pencils were complete, I added the lettering and the fine lines. I love using black and white lines to give things a cartoon-y look
I was going to go with "value scale" or "gradation" but those aren't words we use a lot in my art room. We do talk a lot about mixing up tints and shades...so this was what I went with!
Don't be throwin' no shade now, y'all.
I also had a chance to hang my Color Families display today! I used Command Velcro strips to hang these and my Tints and Shade sign.
Because I want to be able to remove the crayons and use the as teaching tools, I used velcro dots to add them to the crayon boxes. You can see them in the secondary color box.
Now I did mention that I purchased two of these wooden thingies...the other will go over the door to the left of my clock. I plan to paint that in a rainbow gradation...but not sure what I'll write on it yet, if anything. I'm really excited about this area of my art room now! I am loving the new look so much...I am slowly working on giving my entire art room a make over! This is an area that the kids see a lot so it gets first priority. I even painted my easel to match some bookcases I recently redid. I'll have to give a complete tour once complete...although who knows when that will be!
Until then, this will have to be my happy place!Thank you for letting me share!
Love it!

ReplyDeleteVery colorful, liked all the strong color mixes
ReplyDeleteYou're such an inspiration! I just finished my 20th year teaching mostly at the high school level, with a couple of years at the elementary and middle school level as I began my career. I am making the move to teach primary level art because I felt my soul longing for a change. I am so exited and I've been looking at all you do and it's so exciting! Great work! Kudos to you!
