Paper Cut High School Art

We started off by looking at Lane Twitchell's work. The kids had to do their own paper cut with content that reflected their personal identity.

Graffiti Poster High School Art

In this assignment for my studio class, they had to make a faux-poster that would be hung up around school. The subject matter could be anything they wanted. The documentation of the installed work was emphasized as being just as important or more so than the actual piece. I hope some kids or teachers do get confused.

Photoshop Abstraction Template High School Art

For this photoshop assignment, I had them pick an abstract painting from artnet.com . They then used that painting's composition as a template to create their own abstract work. I think this was one of the more succesful assignments of last semester.

Earth Work High School Art

I'm finally doing a large collaborative project with my Art Theory 1 class! I showed them works by Robert Smithson, Andy Goldsworthy, and my friend Jared Lindsay Clark. After that, we went outside and looked around for a possible site and materials to use. Today, I had each student do a drawing to propose their idea. We put them all up on the chalkboard and each student had to present their idea. We then voted on paper ballots for the proposals that we would create. I posted 1st and 2nd place. I will follow this up with photos from the construction.
