Mrs. Crump's 8th art II-Clay Todems

 Clay Totems

Students started their Totems by rolling out slabs that they wrapped around a cylinder form. 

Then students use gravity and form abstract forms to appear as an animal, face or figure. 

Students then add detail to their abstract animal, figure or face by subtracting and adding clay.

After the Totems are fired they appear white.

Students painted the inside of their Totems black to prepare for the value study we will finish the Totems with.

Preschool Visit

WeeKare Preschool Mini artist

The preschool class from WeeKare came to twin and made ghost's with their feet with Mrs. Hussey's ninth graders. 

This fun Halloween projects started with painting little feet white. 

Tickle Tickle 

After their feet were painted students printed their feet on black canvas board.

 After Students print their feet students added googly eyes, leaves, and spider webs to complete their Halloween ghosts.

Here is a finish product.

Mrs. Hussey's class-Print Making

 Print Making

Students start by creating a draft of their idea. Then they draw their design on to the lynolium block.

Students then carve the lynolium blocks leaving the design they created higher than the background creating a negative  and positive space. 

How Students are Graded

ART ASSESSMENT

All Twin Spruce Art Teachers are using the same assessment to evaluate student projects. We use a four point grading system that assesses our students progress. The top four sections of the assessment always stay the same the bottom two sections are adjusted to fit the criteria of individual projects.
