Crafts
ZENTAGLE QUILL PENS
Students created a modern take on the quill pen while demonstrating their understanding of the art of Zentangle. Using a variety of patterns made up of clean lines, and both solid and hollow shapes, students created a decorative feather and attached it to a pen with twine. Finished designs have a good balance of positive and negative shapes.
SIGNET RINGS
After being presented with a history of the design, use, and significance of signet rings, students used polymer clay and copper wire to design a signet ring with personal significance. Students then used the ring to create a wax seal on a letter to someone important in their life
BASKETWEAVING
Students demonstrated an understanding of the coil basket weaving technique by creating a basket in a form of their choice that includes a repeating pattern inspired by any culture, with a “nature” theme, or from their own design.
PETER MAX INSPIRED PORTRAITS
Students created a multi-media portrait of a self-selected person in their life they have an interest in getting to know better. Students then composed a 20-question survey for this person and used the answers to make creative decisions for a background behind a photograph that will represent the person they chose.
NeURographic Art
Students focused on a "quest" (something in their life they wanted to change/improve upon) during their time at home amid the Coronavirus restrictions. While focusing on their quest, they were instructed to create an intuitive artwork that made connections between what they see and what they think.

COMIC STRIPS
The student explored different comic book techniques to create an autobiographical comic.
