Students taking Drawing 2 at Stoughton High worked on a project making balloon letters with charcoal. Students photographed Mylar balloons of their initials, then drew them using a grid system. They next used white and black charcoal pencils on gray toned paper to recreate the shiny reflective texture. Take a look at some examples here. They did an amazing job!

Stoughton High students have had their artwork on display at the Stoughton Public Library throughout the month of January!
