Marine Life Art 2

Students learned about Marine Life Artist, Robert Wyland, then created their own marine life paintings.

Student examples of marine life art inspired by Wyland.  These works of art were completed using chalk pastels.

Chalk Pastels

 
Students have been working diligently to complete their Marine Life Art with Chalk Pastels.  My first semester students learned about Wyland, his artwork, and mission to inspire others to help care for the environment.  Students were allowed to choose their marine life subject matter and create a composition using chalk pastels.  Students were also allowed to choose between 9x12" or 12x18" paper for their project. 
 










Dive Into ART!

Getting ready for the start of a new school year brings new ideas!  I have been busy working to create an exciting new look for the hallway.
 
We will be studying the artist, Wyland this year, which is where the inspiration for this project began.  This piece came together using a variety of materials, many recycled, to imitate nature in an artistic way. 
 
 

How it all started...

Foam and random paperboard packing materials hot glued together.
 
Some "Great Stuff" expanding foam to create more texture.
 
I used Createx acrylic air brush paint to add color.
 
I made extra pieces from expanding foam and cardboard.
