Some Time Ago

Some time ago, we went outside to create contour drawings of the marshfield and surrounding area.  It was a beautiful day, and the students discovered that it can be difficult to execute a nice contour.  It is difficult to draw what we see and not what are minds think is there.

Intro Students and Color

Introduction to Art students are learning some aspects of color that are keeping their heads spinning.  They are handling the new information like champs.  We are using mandalas to demonstrate three different color combinations.  See if you can recognize if the artist is utilizing complementary, analogous or monochromatic color harmonies!

 The picture above is a pic which is the negative of the actual colors.

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.
