Week 25... Art, Art , and more Art

Art 1 classes will be finishing their Pop Art self portraits painted on canvas using a grid drawing base. When finished, we will mount the portraits along the hallway for permanent display. Next week, students will begin a group painting on large paper.



Advanced Art classes will be finishing their 12 Peppers projects. For this work of art, students will be creating 12 identical images on 4.5"x4.5" paper of a fruit, vegetable, or an everyday object as subject, creating each one using a different medium. All 12 pieces are mounted to one board to create one work of art. As always, a full IW should accompany each project.

Week 23... Back in the Studio!!

All classes will begin the week by cleaning, organizing, and restocking the art studio. Now that we're finally out of the computer lab and back into the Art studio gearing up to make some Art, it is important that all students have ownership and responsibility in their studio space. Each student will aide in this by completing a specific task (cleaning brushes, cutting paper, hanging artwork, etc).


Art 1 classes will be completing some drawing exercises aimed at refreshing our realistic drawing skills. Both group and individual grid drawings will challenge students to focus on drawing from reality instead of perception. First, an upside-down grid drawing based on a Picasso or Degas sketch. Next, a Pop Art self portrait painted on canvas using a grid drawing base. Lastly, students will create a group painting on canvas, each student completing one piece of the overall grid.
