Kluender- Art 7/8

Art 7/8 just finished up their ceramic selfies! It's hard to photograph them without getting a glare from the shiny glaze, but aren't they stunning?

Here are some finished examples of our Art 7/8 self portrait drawings. Students learned how to draw using the grid method and used pencil shading techniques to add value. Students then used magazines to create a mixed media mosaic background.

Computer Art students are finishing up their micrography projects. Students used Photoshop to crop and alter an image of a person they admired. They used quotes and/or lyrics by this person to make up the image using sharpies.

Art 7/8 students are working on two projects for the end of the year. Students have been working on a ceramic selfie project. Their clay project has been fired in the kiln and we are in the process of adding colored glazes. Once students have completed glazing their pieces, I will fire them once again. Opening the kiln is one of my favorite parts about being an art teacher...It's so exciting to see the final result of their hard work!

Once students are done with their glazing, they are continuing to work on a crushed can drawing that they began previously. We learned how to mix and blend Prismacolor colored pencils. We learned about Hue, Shade, and Tint and how to use them to create value (shading) and depth in their artwork.

Stay tuned for finished examples.
