art 2: interior/exterior

11/16/2014

0 Comments

 
Art 2: Painting/Drawing students were given the challenge of showing both interior and exterior in their newest artworks.  At first it seems like an easy problem...show a window and you can see both inside and outside at the same time.  Yes.  That is an answer, but it's the obvious answer.

My students are far from doing the obvious and like to think out of the box.  It is one of the many awesome things about them. 

We added color drawing mediums to their list of material choices.  And, they used them to their advantage to show movement and style and character.

Art 1: Environments

11/13/2014

0 Comments

 
Our second unit theme in Art 1 was Environment: Space and Place.  This was a hard theme for students to wrap their heads around.  We discussed what types of environments there could be and I thought they "got it", but as they started their sketches, everything seemed to revolve around the obvious nature aspect of environments.  

So, I created a pinboard of a variety of artworks with myriad environments for them to take a gander at.  After the viewing, I think I saw many of them have that a-ha moment that an environment could be much more than just a landscape.  Some took it in a completely different direction while others chose a subject and created an environment for it.

I am quite please with the growth they are showing.  They are experimenting with materials and really reflecting on their work and the process.

student spotlight:  Paul d.

11/12/2014

Paul is an intermediate student. For as long as we have been working with clay, Paul has this thing for going big with the clay. Well, he surprised me with just how big he wanted to go. During our animals morphing unit, Paul decided to turn a wolf into a tiger. I said okay. He started working and next thing I knew, he sculpted this huge paw. It was downhill from there...or should I say uphill. He continues to build it higher everyday. We have since set up his own table to work at. On it we traced the round kiln shelf so he knew the width and depth dimensions he has to stay in. He is also quite aware of the height restrictions. I am quite impressed with Paul. I don't know how we are going to get his dog into the kiln, but that is something we will figure out when the time comes. So far Paul's clay use has exceeded 50 pounds. I made Paul promise that his next project would be small.

Halloween in the artroom

11/4/2014

0 Comments

 
This year Halloween fell on a Friday.  Also, lucky for us, it was a spirit day, which meant we could dress up.  And, the Spanish department was doing Dia de los Muertos make-up and the other art teacher was doing horror make-up (cuts, oozing, etc.)

Here are some of the students:

Because it was Halloween, and because it was senior night, and because every once in a while kids need to take a break, I allowed my intermediate/advanced ceramics class to take a small break and have a table tennis tournament.
The table tennis winner was Seth!

Of course, I had to get into the action as well.  I channeled my art room's spirit guide, Ms. Frizzle!  Take Chances! Make Mistakes! Get Messy!

    Mrs. Barnett, Art Teacher Extraordinaire.  But really, the students create the awesomeness on this page.

    The Living Painting Experiment

    The living painting is a 36"X40" canvas that the students are free to work on and add to as they have extra paint or are finished with their work.  The work will continue to evolve as students add and cover.
