Seventh grade Art Tech students have recently been creating their own versions of the San Damiano Cross, a historically important crucifix painting from 12th century Italy. Students worked with pencil and ink to draw Jesus on the shape of the San Damiano cross. People, things, and places for which students are grateful appear within the cross and around Jesus. Students colored and edited photos of their drawings with the Sketchbook app on their iPads.
Fifth grade art students have been making relief sculptures of sea animals. Students used the grid method to draw from photos of aquatic animals. They transferred their drawings to Styrofoam sheets which they cut out with saws. The form of each animal was built with paper and tape. Paper mache and glitter glue were used to create the skin.
