Students had to make a very exaggerated expression for their tiki sculptures. They had to first carve their foam block then add paint. Below are their final pieces: 1st hour:7th hour:Students worked to make totem sculptures using paper. They had to choose an animal to make out of paper and then add 3D elements. They turned out awesome. Check them out below:
6th graders finished a multi-step project. We started in a very realistic way with a self-portrait and worked our way to a abstracted self-portrait print. Students did this by completing a pencil drawing of themselves. We introduced ourselves to Pablo Picasso and his 'One-Liners'. Using Picasso as inspiration students completed a one line portrait drawing that we then turned into a printing block. Students continued to abstract their prints by adding bright block color using Pop Artist Andy Warhol as inspiration. Below are their final realistic self-portraits and with their final abstracted prints. Check them out below: 5th hour:6th hour:Students learned the origins of a newer art form call zentangles. The use of key elements like shapes, lines, and patterns into what they call tangles. They had to choose an animal and fill it with 8 chosen tangles. We added color by applying watercolors to our pieces. Check out the artwork below: 1st hour:7th hour:Students learned about Optical Illusion Art or Op Art. They had to work with tools and use precision as they completed their checkered illusion. Images from both classes are below: 2nd hour:8th hour:The 7th graders started the quarter by studying the elements of art. We focused on line, color, texture, value, shape, and shape. They started by completing a line drawing of their shoe and sectioning their paper into 6 sections. They then chose an element to emphasize in that sections.
