Project #1
6th Grade
Sheet Metal
The students have created many different patterns that they have carved into a piece of sheet metal. The students are performing an old technique of bending and shaping metal called: Repousse. Repousse or metal tooling is a metalworking technique in which a bendable metal is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side. The students used a variety of wood tools, modeling tools or the end of a marker to shape their metal.
The Elements of Art we have covered are:
Color, Form, Line, Shape, Space, Texture and Value.
Project #2
6th Grade
Impressionism Acrylic Painting
The 6th grade students learned how to create an acrylic painting. The sixth grade students chose an image and tried to put their own spin on what that artist had created. There were a few things that the students had to be sure they used in their painting: Many colors, No water, Value (lights and darks), brush marks and no solid colors. The students learned how to mix many different colors as they were creating their painting.
