Middle School artists divided into groups and worked on designs for interactive tape murals. This afternoon the sun came out just long enough for the 6th graders to construct their designs on the outside walls of the high school building. I'm hoping the weather will cooperate tomorrow so the 7th & 8th graders can put theirs up. Check the lesson out for more information. I don't know who is more excited about this project--middle school artists or me. Over the summer I saw a video about underwater coral and it's fluorescent colors. I saved the video thinking I wanted to incorporate it into a lesson somehow. Then while cleaning out my son's closet I found black lights. So our middle school artists are creating their own Underwater Coral Paintings that we will view under black lights when complete. Here is a sneak peak at some of their work so far. Middle school artists have been working on their Name Design projects. They have done an amazing job! Here are a few pictures of their work. Over the past few weeks art elective classes explored one point perspective drawing. This is a difficult assignment. It requires artists to use math skills as well as art techniques. For more information on this lesson click on the Lessons tab and the Dream Bedroom icon. Below are a few of the finished projects. To check out more of the projects click on the button below.
It was nice to get back in the art studio after missing half our classes last week for Hurricane Matthew. Today 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade artists worked on their crayon resist projects. While some students were still coloring, others began painting with watercolor. Middle school artists drilled, constructed, glued and sanded stands for sculptures they will be making from discarded art supplies. To find out more about these lessons click on the Lesson Binders tab, the Insects, Birds, and Mammals folder, or the Recycle, recycle, recycle folder.
Middle School artists studied radial symmetry and then used their knowledge to create these incredible mandalas. I think they did a great job! To find out more about this project click on the Lesson Binders tab and the Mandalas folder.
Middle school artists are learning about radial symmetry and mandalas. They were given the choice to use colored pencils, sharpies, markers, oil pastels, or pastels to create their own mandalas. They are working hard and it shows. To learn more about this project click on the Lesson Binder tab and the Mandalas icon.
Middle school artists created edible color wheels today with Vanilla Wafers and red, blue, and yellow frosting. This is always one of my favorite lessons to teach and by the pictures you can see the students loved it too! To see the lesson click the Lesson Binders tab above and click on It's All About Color. Thursday night Open House visitors created pet rocks. Be on the look out as these rocks show up around the school. AND....it was DR Seuss Week...
