7th Grade Art
  • Movement Assignment

    • The rest of class create a more careful drawing that demonstrates movement. 
    • Unity Slides and assignment
      1. Google Definition of "Element of Art Unity" and write down definition
      2. Complete 10 Unity Thumbnail sketches (start with the ones in the Slides and then google image search for the rest)

      4. Upload images to the assignment in Canvas the last 5 minutes of class.
