My 6th Graders did an excellent job with this charcoal Jim Dine project. I thought they turned out quite nicely. For many, that was the first time that they had used charcoal. Not bad, I tell ya.
Directions:
I showed the kids this awesome video. I mean I LOVE IT! Great Jim Dine Video
The kids picked 3 different tools.
We talked about shadows and where light hits the tools.
They lightly sketched with charcoal pencils.
They practiced using a kneaded eraser to pull excess charcoal off the paper.
Also, I would not let them trace to tools. I was very strict about this, but I did let them compare in close range.
That's it!
L👀K!
A hammer is a tool. One of the kids drew one. The HAMMER below, not a tool. MC Hammer is still doing his thing. He has a blog, too! Check it out! Click HERE for MC Hammer Blog! Now check his classic video out from 1990!
