FIFTH GRADE . . . Photographic illusions

Based on a drawing technique fifth graders learned last year, creating their portraits using a mirror image technique, artists this year used part of a picture from a magazine as their sketchpad assignment. The key to this project was to complete the part of the photograph using pencil and color so that the illustration becomes an extension of the image. It is hard to tell where the photo ends and the drawing begins with some of these sketches. Beautiful work everyone!
