Djembe Drums Are Complete!

 Students finalized their papier-mache Djembe drums by adding a balloon as a drumhead. In class yesterday, students followed along to a few drumming tutorials in order to practice playing their drums.




 I have updated the virtual art show to showcase all 30 groups! Here are a few sneak peeks: 






Next up, students are working on creating a collaborative portrait. Before Thanksgiving, students followed along to a shading technique tutorial to learn different ways to shade artwork.
 




Today and tomorrow, students are practicing another important skill: grid drawing! Next week, students will combine both of these techniques in order to draw their portion(s) of a face. Once all the pieces have been completed, I'll assemble the faces and the models will be revealed! Stay tuned for more progress on this project.
