very small to very big

My Drawing class just finished up a project that challenged them to enlarge the scale of tiny objects and to create interesting compositions. They had their choice from popcorn, elastic bands, screws and dried pasta pieces.  They picked their objects and then we glued them on small paper plates so they would not move and that their cast shadows would be more visible. I had my Drawing students use graphite pencils to try and capture a full range of value and my Advanced Drawing students use white conte crayon on black paper.  I was so happy with the results!

    Love this project! So good for building keen observation skills and growing appreciation for how amazing our world is- macro and micro. Sharp detail and really nice shading and strong contrasts. The popcorn really POPS!
