Donut Drawing!

We’re moving on to India ink in Art II! We focused on creating a value scale and line variety to prepare for landscape painting next week. I finally got the ink from underneath my fingernails and I’m feeling grateful that the only person who made a giant ink spill was me! 🤣

After drawing hands in Art II, we moved on to contour drawing with shoes as our subject. Painting with liquid watercolor was a nice break from drawing and I like the vibrant backgrounds.

We started our wire figure sculptures in 3D Design today! I haven’t done this lesson since 2015 and it made me so happy and nostalgic to dust it off again. Student examples coming soon!

My 3D Design students just finished their clay slab series and it was so much fun handing clay to high schoolers again. Student examples next week!

After looking at Hannah Hoch and Surrealism inspired artworks, students created portrait collages juxtaposing unlikely images. These are so fun, hauntingly beautiful and a little scary all at the same time.

I’ve got to hand it to my Art II students, 👀 they’ve been hard at work this week! ✌🏼👏🏼🤘🏼
