Art I did a great job with these sculptures based off of abstracted human forms! We looked at British sculptor Henry Moore's monumental stone and bronze sculptures, and talked about the idea of taking a realistic form and simplifying it down to its essence. Students sketched out their own abstracted human form, bent wire into their shape, and secured it to a wooden base. We then covered them with nylon and they painted the surface to show the rhythm and movement of the figures. Enjoy their work!
Art I students learned about impressionist painters and they way that they used light, shape, and color with textured brush strokes to create the feeling or impression of a moment or place. We looked at examples by artists like Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh, and then students created their own impressionist paintings using acrylic paint. They did a great job!
Advanced Art students were posed the question: "What is Your Refuge?" They answered in so many different ways! From peaceful spots to concerts to their own imaginations, students did a great job of visually representing their personal "safe havens" where they go when life gets rough. Enjoy their work!
