Late to Post...... Two Dimensional Design Transformation Paintings and Final Multi Media Projects

The second semester of the Two Dimensional Design Course offered a lot more freedom in idea development and approach.  The following paintings are a mixture of pieces from a unit exploring concepts in "transformation" and also the final projects which required that the students explored at least three different mediums in their paintings.  Both paintings forced students to think critically and engage in individual idea development.  During the final projects the students spent a lot of time exploring the effects of mixing mediums which resulted in extremely expressive and innovative works.

Late to Post..... 4th/5th Grade Watercolor Ship Paintings

The Fourth and Fifth grade art classes spent the last part of the year working on watercolor ship paintings that reflected their personalities. Students considered the structure of their ship, the surrounding scenery of ship and also the time of day in relation to their own personalities.  Additionally, the students learned about points of views, mixing colors and working with wax resist with their watercolor paintings.  Beautiful work!
