Kluender/ Didlake Computer Art 78

TEXTURE DAY! 

CA78 Students spent the block creating lovely paint textures over their background paintings. 

Next week, we will be doing an image transfer of their selfie photos over this painted background.

We made quite a mess, but had a blast.

We used texture plates, stamps, stencils, bubble wrap and brushes to create the textures.

Kluender/ Didlake Art 8

Today, Art 8 began manipulating their materials for their installation piece inspired by conceptual artists, Jeanne Claude and Christo.

Next week, students will be installing their conceptual pieces. Let's hope for great weather and stay tuned for photos.

Students have been encouraged to take photos along the way and post them to Instagram using the hashtag #sjmsart. If you get a chance, look us up :)

Art Guild Meeting

Art Guild met today for our monthly meeting! We used Never Dull (a silver polish) and magazines to create works of art.

Check out these student examples.

Kluender/ Didlake Art 78

Art 78 students have finished up their skull masks with Mrs. Didlake and are now beginning Amate Bark Painting! Today, students began making paper from recycled paper bags. 

The pulp was made with paper bags and a blender. Students used screens to sift out paper pulp and sponges to remove any excess water. 

Once the paper is the desired size, it will be left to dry. The finished paper will be used as a base for a painting later....Stay tuned!

Kluender Maker Space Workshop

We had such a great turnout in the library today for our first Maker Space Craft Workshop! We had around 40-45 students creating stuffed sugar skulls! Thank you so much for coming and creating with me :)

Kluender/ Didlake Art 8

Today, Mrs. Didlake has the Art 8 students creating sketches and writing proposals to Mrs. Disharoon for their conceptual art piece. Students are working in teams to create a piece of conceptual art that interacts with the environment. I can't wait to see what they come up with!

Kluender/ Didlake Art 78

Students have been adding more elements to embellish their skulls with Mrs. Didlake. They have been encouraged to use symbolic pieces to honor someone specific.
