Fauvist Painting Rough Drafts w/ Drawcast

By introducing my students to Fauvism, they were able to create a simple piece of art that showcased Complementary Colors and Contour Line

My Media Arts students get to make too much traditional art, so it was fun getting back into artistic concepts such as color and line. You can see some of my previous posts that utilized Color in the Classroom

7th graders took a photo of their hand with Drawcast. See some of my other posts that we used Drawcast to make art. They then did a contour sketch of their hand using the foreground layer. Once they had a good outline, they painted the midground with the appropiate color scheme with complementary colors

I look forward to their final project where hopefully they incorporate monochromatic or analogous color schemes as well

Manga Camera / Comic Book app creations within Pages (samples and lesson plan)

After my students played around with the Manga Camera app, they would then edit the photos in Comic Book! You can see some other examples on a previous Manga Camera blog post

They then arranged all of the edited photos into Pages along with a caption for what was going on. Here are the PDF's and if you scroll down lower you will see the instructions I made up. These are just a few of the most colorful pages I saved in PDF's, every student saved their file as a Pages document to be inserted into an iBook in the near future. 

If you scroll down to the bottom of this post, you can find out how to do this with your class and the rubric to grade it with
