Kluender- Art 7/8 A4 block

A4 block is finishing up adding glaze to their ceramic pieces! They will look very different after being fired in the kiln. Glaze is a type of ceramic "paint" that adds color to a ceramic piece.

Kluender- A3 Art 7/8

We learned all about oil pastels today! Students have created enlarged animal eye drawings using chalk on colored paper. Then, they began using the oil pastel techniques to add color.

We learned about mixing and blending and adding value and texture using scumbling, hatching, crosshatching, and stippling.

Kluender- Computer Art 78

As always, we have a LOT going on in the Studio in Computer Art! 

Students are finishing up their micrography projects that are due next block. Some students are even working on an extra credit scratch art follow up to the micrography. 

Some students are working on their Posterized Paintings. We learnbed about acrylic paint and how to mix tints and shades of a color to create a MONOCHROMATIC color scheme.

Next week, we will be introducing a new project to the mix! Stay tuned....

Eek! I am BEYOND excited to see these linoleum reduction prints coming together. We still have a long way to go....but....so far, so good!

All of that hard work carving is paying off. We carved out all of the light (white) areas and this printing reflects the mid tone (grey) of our image. 

I like the experimentation with the ink color versus the color (or pattern) of the paper...Today, we printed WARM colors and next block we will print COOL colors. 

After printing the mid tones, we will continue to carve, leaving only the dark (black) areas and will do our final printing.
