7th Grade Art Students are completing a unit on Portraits. First we learned the proportions of the human face and did several practice exercises that allowed us to learn how to draw faces properly. Then we learned some different methods for drawing portraits including: the GRID method, POP ART Style using Photo shop Cut out Filters, and the ENLARGEMENT process using a projector. Then students selected a staff member of their choice, a media and a method. I will be sharing the wonderful results here!

A sample of sculptures created during the 2009-2010 school year by 6th, 7th and 8th grade students.  Some sculptures can’t be neatly placed in a category, like cars and buildings. They are In a Class of their Own. This batch includes silverware, a birthday cupcake, a hand, foot and globe among other ideas.
