Here are some of the final clay projects completed in 6th grade art class. Students made a loom out of clay and learned how to use slip and scoring to attach sculpted pieces and how to use carving tools to create texture. They then used yarn to make a circle weaving in the middle of their clay artworks to create a dynamic mixed media piece.

In 7th and 8th grade students learned new brush techniques to create realistic landscapes. We discussed perspective and used The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe as inspiration for our Narnia-like winter scenes. Students created a keyhole frame and we imagined what it would look like to peek through the wardrobe door keyhole into Narnia.
6th grade created mixed media artworks of winter landscapes using tempera paint, watercolor with salt, and tape resist. They looked at examples of birch tree bark and used coarse dry brushes to make the bark texture.
7th and 8th grade art students explored the art movement of Cubism. They learned about showing different viewpoints at once to create an almost abstracted portrait. They each chose a superhero or supervillain and made their own Cubist portraits showing multiple views at once.
4th graders integrated their cartography knowledge from social studies to create a realistic map of a state, country, or continent. They then filled the inside with at least 8 varied and balanced zentangle designs and watercolored the background.
