Lately, in the art room, we've been busy and we are about to get busier, as all of my students have just begun their final projects for the school year.
 |
| My Introduction to Visual Design students spent a few days journaling about what and who is important to them and using their answers to create a vision board. Their journal prompts: 1) Spend five minutes free-writing about someone you admire. 2) Spend five minutes free-writing about a perfect day from your past. 3) Spend five minutes free-writing about what you would consider a perfect day in the future. They chose common words or thoughts from all three prompts and had to use those three words as inspiration for their vision boards. |

| Drawing students have been studying the proportion of the human figure and face. In this photo, they are in the middle of a series of two minute gesture drawings. They always love this activity! |
 |
| Introduction to Visual Design students also learned about proportion, but with a different medium- wire! |
 |
| This year, I have extra space, so I created a permanent still life on one of my counters. Statues, vases, bottles, fruit, etc. are always ready and waiting to become a masterpiece 😉 |
 |
| Art Fundamental students work with mentors to create some amazing art. This project was creating abstract flowers on fabric, using batik wax and thinned, acrylic paint. |
 |
| Our latest Introduction to Visual Design lesson was one considering variety, emphasis and unity in a work of art. We then studied works of Louise Nevelson and then students created their own relief sculptures using a re-claimed colored pencil tin, their own scavenged finds from home and black spray paint. |
Hopefully this will be the first of many "Lately, In the Art Room" posts!
Have a great week!
Be Still. Be Strong. Be Happy. ~ Juli
