Wow!! Ceramics I Students

A number of ceramics students blew my socks off with their enthusiasm and ideas for working with slabs of clay.  Imagination was running freely and we were going to town.  There was texturing, shaping, trimming, molding and much more!

Busy, Busy Intro to Art Class

Introduction to Art has been hitting the Elements of Design.  So far we have worked with line, value, and color.

Our main project with line was a contour drawing.  Students learned how difficult it is to create a blind contour drawing.  Students used their shoes as a model.  There were no complaints of odors emanating from the art class!

A few of the students utilized their text book as a stand for their shoes so they could be viewed from a different angle.

We have had some great experiences with not just art this week but the residents of Carrington Place across the street from the highschool.  Both Shaping Lives classes spent two class periods in the company of the residents to celebrate Assisted Living Week.  Below are some pics form the visit.

I loved seeing our students interact with the residents of Carrington Place.  It also placed some students in a social situation they could grow from in terms of communication and learning from a person who has lived in a different time than they have.

Art is Afoot!!

The past two weeks have been a joy working with the PHS Art students.  Following are some pics of current work going on in the ceramics classes.  We have spent the last week creating coil pots.
