P. C. K. Art Room
We were reviewing watercolor techniques and learning some new ones. The Eighth grade started by putting in their wash background. Then they used various texture techniques for the owl itself.
If you look closely in the background above the boys' heads you can see Corbin, the owl, our model.
The Adoration of the Shepherds
Today in 6th grade we learned about the Dramatic Paintings of El Greco. We took turns acting one out ourselves while the other students sketched the characters in their pose.
This is the Martyrdom of St Maurice
Today we made tote bags using duct tape and an old T shirt. Grades 6 through 8 made these today. They came out really cool the ones with colored duct tape.
Sixth grade is learning about value and shadows from Rembrandt's paintings. They traced a digital photo of themselves and painted the lights and darks from one color. They also learned how to mix colors.
The sixth grade each chose a different Proverb and illustrated with colored pencil. We studied proportion of the human figure before we started this project.
After forming our triangular vases in the handbuilding technique we are glazing some color on them.
