Birds: PreK

Fall leaves- 4th grade

Continuous Contour Sign Language Hands

Hybrid Logos

My art II students did this as a short graphic design project. It took them about two 1.5 hr classes to do the whole thing. They had to come up with 3 sketches combining 3 current famous logos to create a new "hybrid."

Value Utensils

To practice value, I had my students draw and shade my kitchen utensils. Hubby did ask where the spatula was during this week. These are 8th and 9th graders, Art I. I was so proud. Last semester teaching value was a huge challenge. But this semester my kids seemed to get it!!!

Celebrity-Half Challenge

For this project my students had been practicing value for a while, and before we did a self-portrait I wanted them to practice on another face. I could not believe the results! This is  8th/9th graders. They were so proud of themselves, and I think they were excited to understand value. Each student picked a celebrity and I printed it out on an 8x10.  They had to fold it down the middle of the celebrity's face (not down the middle of the paper, due to head tilts, and unsquare photography). I may let them do this again!!

*some are repeats because the lighting was tough to capture all of the detail. Sometimes the flash would reflect off the heavy pencil.

Vegas inspired!

Hubby and I went to Vegas for Spring Break (perks of being a teacher!). To get psyched I had my students do one of my favorite projects- a self-portrait playing card.

Here are a few from my new round of art 2 students. I am sorry if they are sideways or upside down!
