Sterling was inspired by both the fluid style of Japanese calligraphy and the artwork of Katsushika Hokusai and his 36 views of Mt. Fuji that we discussed in class.

Triptych pen, ink, alcohol markers

Our triptych project was assigned with a focus on the elements of art and principles of design. Each student had to choose three elements and two principles they wanted to exhibit in their artwork. The results were mounted together for one complete image.

Black paper silhouette

The silhouette project was a challenge of students understanding of the balance of positive and negative space as well as a test of patience. Students carefully cut delicate lines with Xacto knives and scissors and carefully revealed the image they had designed. To this day no students have been injured just one teacher not paying attention to his own rules.
