Kluender/ Art 78

Art 78 students have begun working on a CERAMIC  project. We used our celebrity photos to etch into a clay SLAB.

Then, students are adding additional 3D elements in clay.

After being BISQUE FIRED, we will add color using glazing techniques.

I'm so excited to take back my Art 78 students! We have had two great projects with our student teacher, Mrs. Didlake, but I'm ready to get to work with my classes again :)

I'm getting all set up for our next project....CLAY! Students will be creating a slab tile and applying the image of the celebrity that inspired them using a SGRAFFITO (scratching) technique. 

After our tiles are bisque fired, we will apply black underglaze to "age" the tile, colored underglazes to add color, and clear glaze to add a shiny finish!

Can't wait to see the final product. I'll try to remember to keep the blog up-to-date with studio pics, even if it is hard to snap photos with clay covered hands ;)

Stay tuned....

Shading, shading, shading! My Art 78 students are busy shading their inspirational celebrities with pencil. Once done, they will use magazines to add a mosaic background.

Art 78 is beginning to work on a grid drawing of a person who inspires them. 

We will focus on VALUE in grayscale when the drawings are complete.
