Kluender- Art 7/8

Art 7/8 students have completed their Audubon inspired artworks.....and they look amazing! Check out some examples below :)

Kluender- Art 7/8- B2

B2 is working hard to get their birds turned in by the end of class Monday, Oct. 3. 

Once students are done, they are asked to complete a "critique sheet" to turn in with their projects. This helps them to self-assess what worked and what could've been improved on. It also helps them to understand how I assessed their projects when they get their grade back.

We're using mod-podge to seal the artwork. It also gives it a nice finished look.

PATTERNS, PATTERNS, PATTERNS!!!!!!

Students have been working so hard on their patterns. It's been very quiet in the Art Studio...everyone is focused and into their details! We discussed how coloring and doodling is good for focus, lowers your blood pressure and reduces stress levels. Art class is good for you!

Next week, we will be shifting gears and getting a little messy. We will be hand tie-dying paper to use for the background.

We will also be introduced to the x-acto blades. A letter has gone home explaining all about the use of this tool, including our safety standards. The letter is on blue paper. I had them put the papers in their binders in class, but if your child misplaced the letter, there is a copy on my blackboard page as well as posted on this blog.

Today, Art 78 students began adding PATTERN to their bird drawings! 

You can achieve CONTRAST and INTEREST by varying the sharpie line width and alternating black-on-white and white-on-black patterns.

We used some of the patterns we found in magazines earlier. I also had handouts and books with plenty of ideas.

Mrs. Kluender's A4 block has been working hard on creating some interesting portraits! We broke the image down using contour lines, added color with liquid watercolors and are adding bold unique patterns using prismacolors!
