Shading by 6th Grade

What makes art interesting? If you said composistion you may be onto something!! The sixth graders looked at how to make ordinary objects look interesting and "artful". They made unique pictures of average school supplies and practiced shading at the same time. Posted here are some great examples of student work. Keep it up 6th graders!

8th Grade Clay Masks

Everyone in 8th grade made a clay mask. The students learned the basics about rolling a clay slab and additive sculpting. Each of the masks are fashioned after tribal African masks. Then as a final touch the students added decorative fibers such as beads and rafia. This is a great collection of colorful masks. We hope you enjoy them!

6th Grade Mask Designs

We have a very talented group of 6th graders joining us in the Junior High. Posted here are pictures of what they have been working on in art class. First the students looked at images of African Masks. We looked for symbols, patterns and details that would make each mask unique. Then, each student created their own. Each of the masks are colorful and very unique. Great Job 6th Graders.

You can see all our mask designs at the Fine Arts Festival--Wednesday, October 27, 2010 at 7pm. See you then.
