For our first class, we worked together as a group to reproduce some old portraits. Some brave volunteers would sign up to be subjects, and (based on the image) we would decide on the background and how to frame the
For the last 2 weeks in Art, both the Neutrons and Electrons have been working on the concept of perspective in drawings. During the first period, we discussed how implementing concepts like 1-point perspective and vanishing points can help make
This week in art for both Neutrons and Electrons, we finished up our compositions that work with negative space as both the foreground focal point and as the background. Everybody’s projects turned out wonderful! Some students had a little extra
I had such a great time sharing clay with the kids. They all did their best! It was wonderful to see their different approaches to the same directions. I shared a method of hand building to create vessels. We smacked
