Gingerbread Houses

On Friday the Independent students got to make their gingerbread houses during bonus time. Here are pictures of a few.

Self-Portraits

The 8th graders recently created monochromatic (one color) self-portraits. Here are a few great ones!

Lots of Lines

The 7th graders just finished making these landscape pictures using different types of lines.

Paper Relief Sculptures

The 8th graders just finished a paper relief sculpture project. Some of my favs are on this page. Nice job 8th graders!

Collage Landscapes

The 6th graders recently looked at collage works by Mischa Epstein. Next,each child chose a landscape picture they liked and made a collage showing that landscape. Here are some great examples.

Gestures

The 6th graders recently learned how to draw people by using a technique we call "gestures". Here is an excellent project that Olivia completed.

Three Musicians

The 7th graders just recently looked at works by several different artists titled, "Three Musicians" and then created their own. Each student chose a genre of music and researched things that would work for that genre (instruments, colors, clothing, etc.). Here is an excellent example made by Jessica.
