5th grade 3-D Value Drawings






I have been so impressed with my 5th graders' work on this project! 5th graders learned about perspective and value (degrees of light and dark) in order to create these wonderful abstract drawings. Students had to "color with the curve" (shade in the direction of a contour), blend values together, and create a range of 4-5 values from the lightest light to the darkest dark in order to achieve the illusion of 3-dimensionality. The degree of success on this project was so high - I really believe the final results resemble the work of middle or even high school students! See for yourself!
