Last sculpture of the school year! My beginning 3D student embraced plaster carving right up until the last day of school.

As usual, my Art II students (a mix of 10-12th) knocked it out of the park with our mannequin drawing studies. Watercolor added just the right amount of fun to the more tedious task of studying proportion and movement.

Art II students, a mix of 10-12th graders, did an amazing job with their lino-cut printmaking! We used Blick Wondercut linoleum and practiced on a small piece first to work through line variety and contrast.

These wire figure sculptures are so darn good!!! The credit 100% goes to my hard-working and creative students.

The range of results from this expressive clay portrait unit makes me so happy! As their clay was slowly drying for the kiln, we started a painting and color theory unit with acrylic paint.

We finished these plaster carvings last semester, but as I am organizing for our district art show I continue to be impressed with their results. This group was a mixed bag of 9-12th graders in my 3D Design course. Many were true beginners to art and especially sculpting. We did this unit last after a deep dive into organic abstraction and soap carving.
