Today we will begin the final art project of the school year.
You will be using all of your creativity to draw a castle.
I have included a how-to handout in the linked folder. This is strictly for practice and to get you started.
I have also included some other examples for you to look at.

Your castle should be completely original and one of a kind.
Use rulers and compasses when appropriate.

You can draw a fantasy castle, fairy tale castle, medieval castle or any other type you can think of.
Your creativity is the most important part of this project. Give your castle a story as if you were an author writing a book. All of the interesting things you would like a reader to visualize you can include in your drawing.

For this week please begin by sketching your castle and an appropriate background setting. Think of a location that would be interesting for your setting. What types of creatures or animals can be added? Will you be in the drawing?
When your sketch is finished please finalize your drawing with details, color and any extra things you would like to add.

There are some resources for you to view in the linked folder.

-- The book did not give much information about the Vietnam War, but what did you learn about the war from the words and pictures in the book?
-- What did you see in the book's pictures that shows how people were affected by the war?
-- Why do you think the father took out a pencil and made a rubbing of the name on the wall?
-- Why did the boy put his picture against the wall?
-- Why were others touching the names on the wall?
3. Write a letter to a veteran. Your letter should include:
-- and introduction, such as, Dear Veteran,
-- The Body of the letter should thank the veteran for their service. Include words such as bravery, sacrifice, patriotism to our country.
-- Conclusion including your first name.
-- Check spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.
-- You may add a picture if you want.
4. Take a picture and post it here or email to me at tstgrassel@stgregsschool.org.

Today you will begin adding color to your texture project.

The colors you choose should match the texture you drew.
You should also add skin tone color to the hand where appropriate.

You can use any type of coloring supplies that you have.
You can also draw and color a background if you choose. It can be creative and imaginative just like the hand.
I have added 2 more examples in the folder.

Have fun coloring your project.
Be super creative and remember that your textures should be realistic in color to try to fool the viewer.
Be sure to mark as turned in when you finish.

We will be ready for a new project next class.

2. Use a page in your Writing Journal to begin a Character Study of yourself. Begin by drawing a picture of yourself. Then, write words on the left side to describe what you look like and what we can learn about you: family, interests, hobbies, favorite food, sports. Think of the "All about me" posters from school.
3. This is not due until Friday, so take your time. Post a pic here or email me tstrassel@stgregsschool.org

Today we are going to begin a fun project that involves texture.
The definition of texture is, how something feels or looks like it feels.
Your job is to trick someone into thinking that your drawing has different textures.

I have included a short Power Point presentation that shows some textures in animal art.
You, however, will be drawing your hands. Each finger must show a different texture. I have included a handout in the folder that explains the idea.
I have also included some examples of student drawings of this project. Please look at them but try not to copy them exactly as you see them.

Here are the steps for today's drawing of your "Texture Hand"

1. Trace your hand in the middle of your paper.
2. Fill each finger with a different texture.
3. Use the handout in the folder as an example or create your own textures.
4. Above the hand drawing, neatly write "Texture" and the definition: "how something feels or looks like it feels".
5. The first part of this project should be done in pencil, no color yet.

Have fun with this project. Be super creative and remember that your textures should be realistic to try to fool the viewer.
