Some of our 8th graders have recently finished the Stations of the Cross project in Mr. Bell’s Art Tech class, while others continue to develop their drawings. Students used the Renaissance-based grid method to create free-hand pencil and ink drawings which they have edited and colored electronically on iPads. Illustrations by contemporary artist Shari Van Vranken served as model images for this student art.
Second grade art students are shown below near the end of a class during which they were finishing the construction and assembly of the basic cross shape of their paper, cardboard, and paper mache sculptures. Students will soon build support bases and create colorful tassels for the upper ends of the crosses. Second graders will carry these works into the church during the 8th grade All Saints Program later this year.
