Caricature Portfolios!
Students learned the process of creating caricatures and practiced their new skill by drawing other people first. They drew Beyonce, Mayer Hawthorne, another peer, and Ms. Krieger before they drew themselves as a caricature. Their portfolios consist of a caricature self portrait made with black marker. Everyone did a great job! Want to see more? Visit Artsonia.com to see everyone's caricatures!

First Day Mystery Drawing
On the first day of class every student was handed a small square of paper that had strange lines on the paper. While the rules and expectations were explained students were encouraged to color the square using markers, crayons, or colored pencils. The students were informed that when all the squares are put together they create one giant image. The giant image is of Van Gogh's Starry Night. Although some pieces were lost along the way the giant images turned out great and really shows the individuality of all classes! Great Job!
