Student Work and Progress
Students engaging and creating in the classroom - the best part of any lesson is seeing when something about the content or skill clicks and the students start exploring what they are capable of.
Warm and Cool Color Grid Self-Portrait
Students explored warm and cool colors and used a grid method, inspired by artist Chuck Close, to create self-portraits. As a mixed-level class, students were able to really engage at their own level and explore their skills.
Primary & Secondary Colors Colorful Birds in a Tree
Kindergarten and 1st Grade Students learned about primary and secondary colors using watercolor and coloring materials. Together we put our color mixing skills into practice by creating our Color Mixing Birds and tree. Students were given the option to create 6 birds using their primary and secondary colors and add any details of color or markings to the birds to make them unique!
Majolica Platters
Elementary School and Middle School Advanced Ceramics Class took inspiration from Majolica Platters incorporating 2-D & 3-D elements to Terra Cotta Plates, making their glazes and colors pop.
Marishka Soekarna Inspired Collage
Students learned about Indonesian contemporary artist, Marishka Soekarna and made collages of plant life, faces, and figures inspired by her style. Students considered their background, middle ground, and foreground as they created scenes and compositions that hide or revealed parts of their collage.
