Crystals + Gemstones
Crystals + Gemstones
Students have been looking at crystals and gemstones, including artists who use Crystals as inspiration. In learning to depict crystals, we've been imitating artistic behaviors of practicing Artists. This includes sketching crystals in our sketchbooks, practicing techniques in watercolors (our chosen medium for this project) to prepare for our final works.

Lego Portraits!
Lego Portraits!
This month, students worked on Lego Portraits of themselves, someone they admire, or someone they know well. After learning the history of LEGOs, we discussed character design while imaging that we were hired by LEGO to design a new character. The students were really creative!
