Seventh grade Art Tech students made animal hand puppets which are featured in their short music videos. The puppets were made with paper, cloth, cardboard, tape, wire, paint, adhesive googly eyes, yarn, and paper mache. Students made mass uniform shirts for their creations. The boy animals have ties. Students shot video of their puppets against green screens or a puppet stage with a blue background. Several students have shot video outside the art room for use as backgrounds when applying the greenscreen technique. Students edited their videos in the iMovie app on their iPads, and employed iMovie soundtracks. On the name labels of the videos below, if there are more names than there are puppets, the final name is the videographer.
The Tinkercad church model shown below was designed by eighth grader Alessandro Falasca, a member of our Middle Robotics and CAD Group. The resulting 3D print also appears here.
The 1st grade art classes are shown below with paper hats that they created. Prior to making these origami “Samurai helmets” with large squares of paper, first graders learned the folding techniques with small squares of printer paper. Mrs. Coronado, a first grade assistant teacher who works with Mr. Bell each week during the 1st grade art classes, is shown wearing her hat.
