Mr D's Artroom Report #2

 Mr.D’s Artroom Report: 3/22/22

Introduction to Drawing is hard at work using the skills they learned in parallel lines and basic shapes and colored pencils to create drawings that place a toy they brought in from home somewhere where it wouldn’t normally be found.  They are using reference photos and observation to create these drawings.  Their use of colored pencils looks like painting.  They are doing a great job.  

Drawing and painting 2 are working on designing comic book covers.  They need to base it around the concept of the figure, how the students choose to finish the colored version is up to them, some are going to paint them, some are going to use markers, some are going to use graphite.  I am really excited to see how these turn out.   

Portfolio class are working on their personal collages that will be installed at our advanced students show in April.  They are designing individual works that will be assembled together to create one cohesive work for the 5 students. 

Ceramics and sculpture 1 are glazing their mugs they built and  are going to start our next project next week. They are doing an amazing job.  

Mixed Media have been working on stenciled pieces based on the art of Shepard Fairey and have just learned to embellish their works with foils like gold leaf. I think these pieces are going to shine.
