Critique Day Coming Up!

We're coming down to the last few days of classes.  Today I took down the display case for the last time this year. Strangely, I think I've heard more sighs of disappointment from kids (because art classes will be over) than I've heard squeals of glee that school is almost out!  I actually had one student ask if she could keep coming in to continue working over the summer!  I'm so thrilled to see student enthusiasm, and I'm so proud of what these great folks have accomplished this year!  I will miss seeing your faces this summer!

Soapstone from Sculpture and Mixed Media A Classes:



My Studio in Fine Arts class has "wowed" me this semester!  Students in this class can range from grades 
9-12, but these are mostly freshmen in this mix. These students gridded photographs of themselves, friends, idols or relatives and were given the challenge to create a monochromatic painting that showed a full range of values.  Wow!  I'm amazed at the growth!







Special note to the folks who did the work above.... Take Drawing and Painting A!

I'll be busy working my way out of the grading piles, but I plan to post more images of progress soon!
