7th & 8th Grade - Variation on a Theme

7th and 8th graders are just finishing up their Variation on a Theme project, and man, they are lookin' good!

Here is what we did -

Everyone was asked to bring in an object that they had a personal connection to - a hobby, a gift from someone special, a souvenir from a trip.

They then all drew their object in pencil, using all the awesome skills they learned during our value study. 

Next, they completed a second (and in some cases, third and forth) piece of artwork of the same object, using a different art material of their choice.

It has been such a gift to get to learn about everyone's interests during this project!

here are a few that are complete.

  
Alex - skateboard.


  
Alyssa - necklace from her grandfather.

  
Kailey - keys to her family's new house (and of course, Duke logo).

  
Taylor - one of the many Sharpies that he always carries with him.

 
Brandice - sweet stuffed pups.



 
Lily - stuffed bunny that she has had since she was born.

Ben D. - no. 2 pencil that he draws with.
