During the 10 weeks of online school the students explored the life and artworks of american artists Edward Hopper, Cindy Sherman and Sally Storch. Students researched the life and work of Edward Hopper and explored the theme of isolation and lonliness in art. They created their own stories based on the paintings of both Hopper and Storch and made visual story boards. From there students looked at proportions of the body and how to draw them correctly by measuring and considering foreshortening. Students also explored character creation by looking at the self portraiture photograpy of cindy sherman and created artistic photos of themselves in costume and makeup turning themselves into their own characters and becoming the artwork. From here students created final artworks exploring a variety of different mediums and styles.

For the final unit of the year the students focused on a self directed project. Students were given a list of themes such as Beginning and End, Anatomy, Past, present and Future and layers to explore and decide on before researching various artists of interest and the different ways of working. They experimented and explored the different mediums before planning their final artworks. Students worked with various mediums including acrylics, spray paints, digital art, sculpture and fashion to create their final artworks of the school year.
