7th Grade Paperboyo Art Challenge

I stumbled across a Facebook post about a street artist name Paperboyo this summer and fell in love with his work. It wasn't until we were in the beginning stages of figure drawing in class that I decided to incorporate his art into the classroom. I decided to create a Paperboyo Challenge to utilize a block period of 85 minutes.

Each student selected a landscape themed calendar image (Thanks Dollar Tree) and then created a figure silhouette to interact with it. I think the silhouette aspect of the project made drawing gestures a little less intimidating for the kids. I feel like the challenge was a success and it was a great way to gauge skills while inspiring ideas. Check out the results!
