Painting: Just finished a unit on Color Theory and moving into experimenting with all different types of paint. Their project is currently to create a reproduction of a master work of art by splitting it into fourths and painting each fourth with a different type of paint (watercolor, acrylic, oil and gouche). Student work coming soon!
Drawing/2D: Students are currently working on grid drawings. They created a collage with different elements in it (human face, animal, achitecture...) and using a grid have to transfer the collage square by square into a drawing twice the size of the original collage. Student work coming soon!
Video: We are learning Final Cut Pro Software bit by bit and are working on improvisational techniques.
3D: In 3D we are working on examining Abstract sculpture and how a sculpture can have meaning when it looks like nothing realistic. Students created a wire sculpture and are painting it to tie the color scheme and sculpture together for a common theme. Student work coming soon!
FUNdamentals in Art: This class is all about students learning the basics of art and touching on as many mediums as possible. They just finished work on color theory and are moving into watercolor. First they will learn many different techniques they can use when painting watercolor and will then use those techniques to create a silhouette cityscape using their watercolors. Student work coming soon!
Art Around the World: Mexico is the topic at hand! We have just fininshed working on Amate paintings which are made from recycled tree bark and are painted with very bright colors. Students created ASAP (Actual Simulation Amate Paper!) and made their own paintings involving birds, fish, flowers and other items. Next we will be examining Day of the Dead in Mexico and the traditions that go along with celebrating the dead. Student work coming soon!
