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.

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. 

                       

Other projects in Mrs. Hussey's and Mrs. Crump's class

COLLAGE                                                               

Student cut out images of people from magazines and used their outlines to create a silhouette. The students incorporate the silhouettes into their collage.

NEWSPAPER PORTRAIT

Students start this process by tearing and gluing newspaper onto a piece of paper to create a background. Then they create a grid on both the newspaper and their picture. The grid creates a guide when students are drawing their portraits.  

Abstract Watercolor

Students created an image and fragmented it to look like puzzle pieces. Then students experimented with mixing watercolor. 

Collage/Drawing Project

Students create a small scaled collage out of magazines. They create a grid on the small collage that they double on their drawing paper. Then students draw a magnified version of the collage they created. 

Deconstructed Books

Students use discarded book create a work of art by painting, crimping, cutting, punching and folding.

Mrs. Hussey's 9th Art II-Stain Glass

 STAIN GLASS

Students start the stain glass process by creating two copies of an original design.

After they create their design students number each section of their design and use the light table to create a copy.

 Students color one copy and save it as a guide. The other copy is cut out and glued to glass to guide students when they cut their glass.

After cutting their glass students put their glass back together and start to copper foil the edges. 

When the entire peice is copper foiled students again assemble their stain glass and prepare for soddering. 

Students sodder and add finishing touches like chains to hang their stain glass. 

Here are a few finished products.
