September is for POP art!

We are back at it! Back to school and back to all things art! I like starting the semester with pop art for multiple reasons, but mainly because it gives our hallways a good "pop" of color. 

These are some of my notes for students to follow.  At first, they really don't like adding red to their pineapples, but after they do they can see what a difference it makes in creating a range of value on the bottom part.

Pinatas!

 Pinatas... In the thick of this project... I told myself this would be the last time I ever attempted this one... but now that they're finished, it's definitely one that's going on repeat!  The colors, the creativity, and the MESS!  Ha ha!  It looked like a party in my room every day for weeks!  I am so proud of how well my students accomplished the challenges that came with creating these!

Works in progress...

We ran of room to display these in the display case so we had to get creative!

This was my example, had to be a paint palette of course!!

Have a great summer!!

Spring ceramics 2022!

Does it get any better than a beautiful glaze kiln opening like this one?!  My students this semester have created some of the most beautiful pieces of pottery that I've ever had the opportunity to fire.  I am so proud of how these turned out!

 

Spring succulent paintings

We finished up these amazing succulent paintings this week!  I love these so much I may leave them up for the rest of the semester!  Although the portraits they are working on now will have to replace these soon.  I can't wait to share them!
