For our final project before the Christmas break, my Grade 7-9 students chose, from online reference images, any shiny holiday themed object to draw. The focus as to get a nice sharp highlight to showcase the object's shiny or reflective surface. Candy canes were obviously popular, but some students tried something a bit more challenging.
Students used laptops to search for images online.
Then they drew a contour drawing of their object on lilac construction paper.
If they were drawing a candy cane, they used a white oil pastel to draw a thick line of highlight
down the center of the object.
Then they coloured in the rest, using two similar values: one light and one darker, on the edges.
Finally, they cut it out and glued it onto black paper.
A lot of kids didn't manage to finish in time unfortunately but here are some that did!
Did you have the objects to choose from or did the students bring them in?
