Art 8 students spent the block drawing from life and using charcoal.
We drew bottles, fruits and vegetables and used lighting to be able to easily identify highlights and shadows.
They did a great job!

Kluender- A4 Computer Art 7/8
Computer Art 7/8 is working on their Power Word Kaleidoscopes! A power word is a word that has personal meaning.
We talked about using Analagous and Monochromatic colors to add shading into our artwork.
Kluender- Art 7/8
Art 7/8 students learned about artist and orinthologist, John J. Audubon. We are working on patterned bird drawings.
We created hand dyed paper that we will be layering our drawings on.
I sent a letter home regarding the use of x-acto blades in class. Parents and students have the option to opt out of using this art tool. I have small scissors to use.
Kluender- Art 8
Art 8 has spent the past few blocks learning about charcoal. Today, they drew from life using bottles, fruits and vegetables.
I added a light to each still life so that students could easily see the lights and shadows on the objects and on the table.
We will be adding paint to accent the charcoal drawings later.

Kluender- Welcome, New Second Semester Students!
Welcome to the second semester!
On our first block, we went over the course syllabus and important class info.
We discussed the course fee & suggested materials, grading practices, electronic device usage, and class expectations.
The signed syllabus, fee, and materials are due by A day- Monday, Feb. 13, B day- Tuesday, Feb. 14
What are we doing now?
Art 7/8:
Today, Art 7/8 students began their daily journals and we brainstormed different careers an artist may have. We also began our first art project. We discussed John J. Audubon, a French-American orinthologist and painter. We talked about his art career, not only as a painter, but his contribution to the scientific community for documenting the birds of North America. Students began to sketch out birds using reference photos. Next block, we will break the birds up using contour lines and shapes and add foliage to balance out the positive and negative space.
Computer Art 7/8:
Today, CA 7/8 students began their daily journals and we brainstormed ideas for our power word. A power word is a word that holds special meaning, makes and impact, or represents something about you. After choosing a personal power word, students used a variety of fonts to create their power word in bubble letters on a triangle template that will be used to create a kaleidoscope. Next block, we will be tracing our template onto our paper and learning how to flip and trace to make the kaleidoscope design.
Stay tuned for examples of work in progress next week.....
