Linoleum Prints Animal Texture
![]() |
| The material we used is made specifically for students to carve. It is softer than traditional linoleum. |
| We studied about Albrecht Durer and his woodcuts and engravings. There was so much detail and texture in his work. |
The students had to use a balance of white and dark while they were carving. Too much carved out and the design did not come out as well.
| We also learned how to sign and number our prints like artists do. Each student made three prints. |

Mixed Media Collage Sketchbook covers
Every Semester we
personalize our sketchbooks in some way with color.
Last week, our first project was to do a mixed media collage with our name.
First step was to cover the outer edge of the cover with newpaper, music score, maps, and pages torn from books.
Then we chose an image for the center of the page. This was glued down and covered with Glue to protect the image from the acrylic paint.
We used stick on letters for each person's name.
Finally we painted the entire cover and then wiped off with several paper towels so the image and some of the text peeked through. Then the letters were peeled off to reveal our first layer of text underneath.

6th Grade Clay Gargoyle Sculptures
Sixth Grade completed two clay projects in the first semester.
First they learned slab building by making a square box with applied texture to the sides.
The lid was made the same time as the sculpture on top.
The students created gargoyles using a hollow body method using rolled newspaper. There were many different creatures made. Here are several.
