Cam and I talked about his boxing lessons and the vocabulary he has learned through his training. Like any subject matter, the visual arts have a terminology to study and learn. I gave Cam several one-page worksheets for reference. We learned about lines, shapes, forms, mass/volume, and values. Cam completed a worksheet using lines to express emotions and movement. Cam was articulate in his explanations of his line choices. Then on paper, Cam created three-dimensional forms out of two-dimensional shapes using shading. He has a very good grasp of shading and demonstrated that in class. He also was able to finish his tree drawing which is exquisite! He was open to suggestions about how to make it even more dramatic with shading. We showed it to teachers and staff! Cam should be very proud of his work!

Cam had a great first week!
