In 7th and 8th grade art classes, students sculpted clay tiles that told a story. Students designed their art stories in their sketchbook first and then used both carving and sculpting techniques to create their textured tiles.

In 6th grade art class we just finished a large unit integrating music in art. Students completed three different projects inspired by three different kinds of music. The first project was inspired by the call and response and rhythm of jazz music. Student used Zentangle patterns and listened to jazz music while they worked to create their first artwork. The second project was inspired by classical music. Students listened quietly to the thoughtful music and created an artwork inside their silhouette that was a visual representation of what the music made them see and/or feel. The final project was inspired by electronic music and the only prompt was to create an abstract artwork that represented the music we listened to in class from the Tron: Legacy soundtrack.
In both 3rd grade classes we discovered the technique of Zentangle. We also learned about positive and negative space. Students chose and animal to draw in profile. They then added Zentangle patterns to the negative space and painted the positive space.
Students did an awesome job creating Dr. Seuss inspired artworks this past week! 1st graders made animal artworks inspired by My Many Colored Days where students used expressive color. 2nd graders created Loraxes and 6th graders made truffula tree landscapes all inspired by the book The Lorax. 3rd grade students made tufted mazurkas with patterned necks inspired by If I Ran The Zoo. All student artwork was on display in the gym for Dr. Seuss Night. Dr. Seuss Night was a lot of fun! We had stations all over including Seussical Hair and my station for decorating Lorax mustaches and getting your very own truffula tree. |
