Donut Drawing!

I have been playing around with underglazes and this set of watercolor underglazes and I am so excited to use them with my students!

Five out of my six classes are working with clay this month, and I couldn’t be happier! My Art II students, a mix of 10-12th graders, are exploring expressive portraits. Once we practiced basic facial features and clay techniques I have turned them loose and I love seeing what insanity they come up with.

My Sculpture II students have been working on their clay mini bust sculptures this week. We are using a subtractive technique and working small, but you can also do this much larger. I have not taught this lesson in over a decade, and I am so excited and inspired as they are working.

If my students feel anything like me when they come back tomorrow, they will feel like a zombie wearing a cement hat.

This semester my sculpture students will be creating expressive wire portraits. You can have students create contour drawings first or use photographs depending on your learning goals or the drawing experience of your students. I like https://unsplash.com/ because they have high quality images that are free-use and you can also have students create their own photographs based on a theme.

I have used this doodle drawing as a new semester reflection and goal setting activity. You can use any materials your students love. It works great as a short lesson while students adjust to a new semester after a long break.
