6th Grade Skeleton

The 6th graders worked with charcoal pencils on brown paper to capture cropped sections of the human skeleton. We worked from an actual skeleton that was posed in the art room. We also had a series of photographic references to pull from. Here are just a few of the many amazing drawings that were completed during this project.

4th Grade Clay Masks

The 4th grade clay project is a lesson in spontaneity. The students are shown are series of tools and techniques for creating texture. The actual mask is created by using a rolled slab formed over various paper armatures. This way eyes, noses and mouths can actually stick out. The masks are then painted with metallic tempera paints to create the illusion of a lost or ancient artifact.
