7th & 8th Grade - Chinese Dragon Clay Sculptures

"We started this thing together and that’s how we’ll finish it. I promise."- Mushu from Disney’s Mulan

7th & 8th graders learned about the history of China, their beliefs as well as studied their artwork. We discussed the element of form, types of sculpture and basic hand-building clay techniques. This was our first year working with new ceramic tools and the results are incredible! Check out our clay Chinese dragons!

5th & 6th Grade - Dragon Eyes

Texture, value, form and chalk pastel techniques all rolled into one! Well done artists!

7th & 8th Grade - Texture Animals

7th and 8th graders did an outstanding job with their texture projects! With this project, we learned techniques on how to use oil pastels. It’s not just coloring like you would with your everyday Crayola crayon. Using blending and layering of their oil pastels, students were able to create realistic implied textures. Then, we created actual texture by embossing aluminum foil and staining the metal to bring out the texture lines.
