Eighth graders in Mr. Bell’s Art Tech classes used the Renaissance-based grid method to create free-hand pencil and ink drawings of the Stations of the Cross which they colored electronically on iPads. Illustrations by contemporary artist Shari Van Vranken served as models for this student art.
The 8th grade classes did such a good job on the Stations of the Cross project this year that Mr. Bell decided to show two artworks for each station, instead of just one. The artwork was posted on the playground for the school-wide Stations of the Cross procession during Holy Week. The labelled student art that was used for the procession appears below. The artists’ names appear under their artwork. The two works shown above in the banner photo are by Landon Leitz and Grace Hass.
