Clay Sandwiches
Students were Very creative with this project where they made a sandwich of some kind and gave it a personality. Also, the top buns come off to expose a secret box in the middle!
OP Art- Optical Illusions
Students learned about the art movement that started in the 1960’s called Op Art. Op Art is a style that uses geometric forms (shapes) and color contrast (opposite colors) to create the illusion of movement or 3-D space. The students practiced making many optical illusions and selected their favorite design for their final artwork. They did a wonderful job using creativity, good balance, composition, and craftsmanship in their artworks.
Self-Portrait Doodles!
This project serves as a great opportunity for the students to really get creative and express themselves. We started by making a signature Artist Trading Card (See post below for more pics of ATC's) by painting the background of a card, adding their initials and patterns, and finally they made a custom sticker of their face! The rest of the drawing and painting shows the student's interests and personality. Very fun project!
