Plastered sculpture

Art 1 has also been looking at Greek and roman sculpture and creating their own sculptures but using plaster of Paris instead of marble.  I would love to try to carve marble but for obvious reasons, budget and time, we pour plaster into pop cans and then form them into objects.

Color me a wheel of fun

Art 1 has been working with the color wheel and the various color schemes.  For the final project they are required to create a drawing and then break it into 6-8 areas and each area needed to be painted with a different color scheme.

Cookie review

  What better way to review color theory than with frosting and cookies.  Also a great way for them to pay attention, because they can't eat until we are done.

Zombie apocalypse

Do you ever just have a crazy idea?  And then you decide you have to see it through?  Well this year we decided to create a zombie movie/video.  While the day was kind of crazy, the kids had a blast.  

How can you not have fun with this group of deadheads?  

What would you find in a tomb?

  Co

I am trying to find new ways to teach art history, and while I am not sure if I am in love with this lesson I am happy with how it came out.  I wanted my students to all create a 3D artifact that could have been found in an Egyptian tomb.  This meant they had to research what types of items would have been found there and why they were there.  I also had them write some sort of hieroglyphics on their 3D piece.  Overall I was very happy and I hope it will help with their understanding when they start their Greek sculptures this week.

Finding a perspective

Drea B.  Eiffel Tower

So I haven't posted for awhile.  I promise we have been working.  These are Art 1 perspective drawings.  They had to find a place from google maps and then draw it in perspective.  We had to learn hoe to draw 1,2 &3 point perspective because I had no idea what they would find on google maps.  Majority found first or second, but I think teaching them third point helped them try to avoid it.
