Students At Work

Here are some photos of my 3rd Period B-Day Art Class.  They are currently working on Landscape Drawings in Soft Pastels.  It is a dusty, messy project, but well worth the results.  We will post photos of their completed work soon!

Art I and II was assigned a new sketchbook assignment.  They will be interpreting the poem by Edgar Allen Poe entitled: Annabel Lee.  Hopefully, we can post some of their interpretations too!

Closing Out October 2013

The art room has been a busy place as usual.  Art II students just finished working on Magazine Mosaics and Art I just completed their Still Life Collage.

Art I 

STILL LIFE COLLAGE

Mentionable Sketchbook Assignment

Title: Something Scary

We do not have photos of the Magazine Mosaics that Art II worked on, but hopefully will post them next time!  See you soon!

Another Week

Last week the Art I students worked on Object Studies in pencil.  This week they are working on Still Life Studies, but they are not drawing they are piecing together the still life in the form of a collage.  I am already impressed with the way they are working and can't wait to show off the final product.  This project will take 2 weeks, so it might be a while before you can see the outcome.

The last sketchbook assignment that Art I and Art II was assigned was titled: A House with a Story.

Here are a few that I thought were outstanding.

Better Late Than Never

Well, I thought I was going to post every week, but this school year has proven to be a very busy one!  So, I have compiled a lot of art work for you to view.

Here is what we are up to....

Art I is currently working on pencil drawings of objects.  This project will help students learn how to use all the new techniques that we learned in class.  

Last week, the art 1 students completed a project that we called word art.  This project had a purpose and a function.  The words were used to decorate our cafeteria walls.  

Here are some examples.

As you can see the words are full of black and white designs done in Sharpie.

The Mandala designs turned out great too, but I only have one example to post.  The others got deleted by accident.

Art II student are currently working on Magazine Mosaics.  This is one of my favorite projects.  It does take quite a bit of time, but it is so worth it in the end.

Last week, they completed watercolor paintings of teacups.

 Sketchbook Assignment-Salt and Pepper

Allie Cole

The students were given the title: Salt and Pepper and then told to interpret it in the media of their choice.  This one was the most creative out of 44 students.  She actually used salt and pepper in the composition.
