8th Grade Grid Drawing: Practice in Photorealism

As their final projects of the year, our McKay 8th graders created absolutely incredible photorealistic drawings using the grid method. This process allowed them to draw their images to-scale, and with a greater level of detail. Subjects ranged from peer portraits, to pets, to self portraits, and more. These drawings reflect skill and technique more akin to that of college level art students than to middle school level work. I am so proud to share with you this amazing work and the great talent of my students.
