Crazy "Cray" Portraits

Students took pictures of themselves using Photobooth on an iPad. They had to distort their face using one of the filters in the program. After printing out their image on a grid students then had to draw another grid on a piece of drawing paper. They then learned about the grid method and were able to copy their photo exactly how it appears. Students learned about shading with pencil to show the shadows and highlights in hopes to make their portraits look more realistic.













Quest for Design

Students chose and circled an interesting design from a magazine. They enlarged the design and re-drew it much larger and paid attention to every detail and the colors in an attempt to make their drawing look identical to the magazine. Students discovered that by blending, mixing and shading colored pencils they can achieve new colors and affects.

Pinwheels for Peace: The Update!

Earlier this semester we had the chance to express our ideas on peace, equality, tolerance, bigotry, and living in harmony on a pinwheel. We joined the international peace movement and wrote our thoughts about these topics and then visually expressed them on the other side of the pinwheel. We had such a turn out that even Channel 2 News came and did a story on this project! HOW COOL!

















Still Life!

Students used viewfinders to find an interesting composition by cropping out other objects. They then built knowledge of value scale by using charcoal and chalk to achieve different shadows and highlights. This was truly a challenging and messy project!









Clay Character Bowls and Ugly Mugs!

Students were able to choose to either sculpt a clay character bowl or an ugly mug. For the clay character bowls students chose a character and sketched it from three different angles on paper. Then the students created a pinch pot as their base and then added appendages later. Those students that chose ugly mugs also had to do three different sketches however they created two pinch pots to create the tall mug shape. Both projects required the students to use acrylic paint on the finished product. Great job!
