Week 5... Snowy Weather

Students were out of school Monday, 2/1 for Snow!

Art 1: Students spent this week exploring the Element of Space. Positive/Negative space was used in the creation of drawings based on chairs and stools in the room; students used bright colors to define the positive and negative spaces. Physical space was explored through one-point perspective drawing techniques students learned in class, creating a cityscape using one-point perspective. 

Art 2/Photo: Students critiqued their Tree photos as a class. Several will be chosen for display at Town Hall for the next month. Students also completed self critiques in their IW's before creating wiki pages to publish their critiques. More shooting time and photo history were given in class.
