Most 8th graders have recently finished the Stations of the Cross project in Mr. Bell’s Art Tech class. The Renaissance-based grid method was used to create free-hand pencil and ink drawings of illustrations by contemporary artist Shari Van Vranken. Students edited and colored photos of their drawings with the Sketchbook app on their iPads.
The 1B and 1S art students are shown below proudly displaying the base structures of their Mr. and Ms. Mousey Head paper sculptures. In this geometry-based art project, students internalize the concept of the cone by making one from a paper plate. The cone serves as the base form upon which each student will work creatively to give his or her mouse head a unique personality. During the next few weekly classes, students will use colored tissue paper, a glue/water mixture, yarn, corn, pom poms, and cotton to finish their sculptures.
