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
Ceramic Slab Project
The students learned a different clay building technique called Slab. The students kneaded and flattened a piece of clay out by hand, without the use of any tools. After they had flattened their slab out they used another clay technique called carving, in which they carved out shapes and images into their slab. The students then built walls around their slab to make a cube, cylinder or rectangle. The students used wire tools, needle tools, modeling tools, fettling knives, ribs and ceramic sponges to create their design on their slab.
The Elements of art we have covered are:
Color, Form, Line, Shape and Texture.
Project #3
6th Grade
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.

3-D Object Drawings
The 6th grade students learned many different techniques of drawing such as: drawing the outline of the object, drawing details inside the object and shading in the object. The sixth grade also learned a variety of ways to add value and form (3-D) to their drawing such as (contour lines, cross hatch, smudge and scribble). The students then chose a still life object that they would draw out using different styles to make it look 3-D.
