IB 11 Drawing

Vivian's last drawing for this year.  Beautiful work.

Random Sketchbook Drawings

Just some loose ends of quick sketchbook activities that students have done throughout the year in their spare time.

Quick and Easy Year End Activities #5

Monster doodles are fun and once again keep the creative muscles stretched and hands moving.  For some reason I only have a few photos.

Quick & Easy Year End Activity #4

This is a collaborative drawing exercise where you give specific instructions and then afterwards students are instructed to rotate sketchbooks to the right and then draw the next set of instructions and pass books to the right ... you get the idea.  Three to five minutes for each round is usually sufficient.  I think for this one the first round they had to draw a body part - eyes, nose, leg, ear, intestines ...  Next rotation was to draw another body part not joined to the first body part.  Next rotation to draw another body part but this one had to be joined to one of the previous drawings. Next drawing was a man made object - ladder, egg beater, headphones, engine, antennae etc. joined to one of the body parts. Next was to attach an animal part and the last rotation was to create an environment - interior, exterior, outer space, underwater etc.  By the time the sketchbook returns back to the rightful owner there is always a bit of a chuckle.

Quick and Easy Year End Activity #3

I gave a styrofoam cup to a student who was finished early and I think I'll develop it further for next year.

Random Pieces of Art

Some random photos of artwork by grade 12 IB art students that I thought I had posted a while back.

Videography

The IB 11's started the year off with a videography project - 25 drawings of the same object which is then transferred into a video or powerpoint presentation (with music).  This brilliant idea came from http://ararte.ning.com/video/the-plunger .  I don't profess to be knowledgeable with any movie making program so the learning curve was high for both myself and the students, but I would definitely do this project again next year - just better informed.  There has been some difficulty with downloading many of the student videos with the exception of these two.  One more can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLzvkBCYy-s
