After School Art

Creating Art After School

 

This year we focused on different types of sculpture. 

 

Students had the opportunity to create rhythm pods and create their choice of clay sculptures. 

 

Students also created abstract sculpture using wood, wire, nylon, gesso and paint.  They viewed ideas from other artists and then had the choice of creating something inspired by one of the artists or an idea of their own.

 

Our last exploration was kinetic sculpture - Calder inspired mobiles. 

 

 

 

Graphite Lighthouses

Students were practicing adding value to create a more interesting drawing of a lighthouse.

 

 

Charcoal Pipe Drawings

 

After viewing pavement drawings by the artist Julian Beever, students used vine charcoal to create an interesting composition of pipes .  They were also allowed to use a small amount of color with chalk pastels.
