Assignments
We are currently working on Tattoo Portraits, based on our study of Maori culture and tattoos combined with personal life knowledge.
5/10/2018: We have finished an Original Mandala project, and we are now working on a four-part experimental art project. Students who adhere to the provided guidelines will complete a water and chalk painting, an oil pastel and vegetable oil drawing, an ink drawing, and a 2-D multi-media art work. They will have researched one artist and completed a critique of one work of art. At the conclusion of this project, students will self-critique their work, using art vocabulary and demonstrating understanding of the elements and principles of art. This will be the last big project of the year and is meant to be comprehensive. Subsequent projects will be smaller in nature.
