//** This year 6th grade will be studying four units throughout the school year. These units are: **// //** Realism **// //** Impressionism **// //** Expressionism **// //** Abstraction **// Each unit is a study of an art style and will consist of several projects completed throughout the marking period. In Quarter 1, students began a study of Realism while creating self portraits through use of a grid and a photograph. They then used a variety of pencils to render the work demonstrating knowledge of the different hardness levels of each pencil and its corresponding value. Examples can be viewed below.

In studying the art style of Impressionism, students created Analogous Tree paintings in which they utilized a color scheme consisting of colors next to one another on the color wheel. This was a mixed media composition. See examples below.
