Drawing & Painting I students just finished up their abstract watercolor project. After completing a technique sheet to try out all the different techniques, students used a warm cool color scheme to create these watercolor paintings. They could incorporate as many techniques as they wanted while dividing up the painting by using warm and cool colors.

Artwork is everywhere. The sheet with the yellow is a student index of all of the work completed this year and which area of the exam it goes into. All of the students sizes and media are listed.

Using precut strips of mat board to speed up the measuring for their mats.

We only have one digital camera so everyone is assigned a day to shoot their portfolios. A few students have cameras so they can use theirs. We have 5 computers so everyone is hopping on and off to use them.

Visual Journaling-Implied Texture vs Real Texture

Drawing & Painting I students used stencils, sponges and acrylic paints to create Art with a Message. Using various prompts student began with some associative writing and then layered with acrylic paint and stencils. In the end, they sponged on their message...excellent way to achieve implied texture.

Here students used modeling paste and tools to create real texture. After it had dried students used acrylic paint to layer and  create depth and dimension. My drawing and painting students don't get to often work off the the flat surface. So, it was fun for them to be able incorporate thick impasto into their work.

0 Comments

 
Drawing & Painting II period 1 just handed in their linoleum print projects. Working from observation students created line drawings of various plants and transformed their drawing into a black and white image. Each student created a series of print from a simple black and white print to more experimental prints such as hand coloring, printing on a collage surface to mixing different inks. They also learned how to use a printing press.

So today is April 1st!  There is no way I could have forgotten that... as my AP students cleverly worked with some of my colleagues to cover my classroom in insects, reptiles and other creepy crawly creatures. There are even a few of these little buggers hanging from the ceiling. Perhaps I could work these into our next project...um?
