8th Grade Color Theory Shattered Bugs

8th Grade Shattered bug – Color Theory

8th Students used old National Geographic magazines and found a photo of a bug. Students took time to practice drawing their bug focusing on the details.  Students then after learning about color theory picked a combination of colors that they felt would work well together.  Students drew their bug on the final paper and used a ruler to make a shattered bug effect.  The glass would then be one color theme and no glass would be another.  Students used water color pencil created their shattered bug.
