Class room projectsmagnifyDraw Small and Magnify!
The next project will test students observation and drawing skills. Scientists in the past had to rely on their drawing skills to record data observed from a microscope. Students will look at drawings by artists such as Robert Hooke, Michael Landy, and Christopher Marley to inspire their own detailed drawing of an insect.
Resourceful WeavingHopi Native Americans are a resourceful tribe in the Southwest. They use 134 different plants found on their reservation in their daily life. After watching The Story of Stuff, students recycled old T-Shirts for a weaving project.
Watch NPR's Planet Money follow a T-Shirt from the Cotton Fields in the Southern U.S. to our hands.
The Story of Stuff investigates and evaluates our consumer driven culture and presents ideas for a more sustainable lifestyle.

Georgia O'keefe Inspired watercolors
The Last SupperIn the image above,all lines of perspective lead the viewers eye to Christ in the center. Perspective can be used as a device to create space, direct the viewers eye, and create a realistic space which the viewer can believe in and explore as a viewer.
Renaissance artists like Da Vinci, the artist of the painting above, contributed many techniques to the art world that helped artist's create realistic paintings. The techniques were Foreshortening, modeling, proportion/scale, aerial perspective, and linear perspective. One POint perspectiveArt 1 students are working on Zentangle self portraits. It is an art technique inspired by meditation. The repetitive motion of pattern markings encourages meditation. After a personality test, students chose an animal that represents their identity and are using patterns to represent light and dark values of their animal images.
The first project is based on a style of painting called Trompe l'Oeil (pronounced "loy"). The style name is french meaning "trick of the eye". These artists created paintings that fooled the viewers eye into thinking the objects were actually 3 dimensional. Students will create still lives with personal objects that use shadows and large ranges in value to create illusionistic drawings.
