Week 26... Plaster Casts, Photos and Doodles

1st and 2nd periods Ceramics students began the process of plaster casting with partners this week. Each student was responsible for prepping their plaster strips and casting their partner's face, arm, or foot. Although quite messy, plaster casting is a fun process and gets all students involved. All casts must be finished by the end of the week; we will mold clay into the casts next week!

3rd period Art 3/4/AP students began the Google Doodle project. This year's theme, "What I'd like to do someday..." is broad enough that all students can interpret their ideas into an interesting Google logo. See the Google Doodle Website for more details on the contest and past student winners!

4th period Photo students have 4 assignments they are working on in the next two weeks. First, a photo shoot of Flowers, leaves, and other small organic objects, 5 of which are to be submitted to the wiki or Facebook (due Fri 2/25). Second, students will shoot a variety of images of mechanical, architectural, or otherwise man-made objects, again, posting 5 best (due Thurs 3/3). Third, students will choose their best organic and best synthetic photo and create a diptych collage in picnik.com (due Fri 3/4). Fourth and finally, students must post comments on wiki pages of their classmates photo work, providing virtual critiques and feedback on their photographs (due Fri 3/4).

6th period Art 2 students also began the Google Doodle project. This year's theme, "What I'd like to do someday..." is broad enough that all students can interpret their ideas into an interesting Google logo. See the Google Doodle Website for more details on the contest and past student winners!
