Second Quarter

We have been busy here in the EMS art room.  Last week was the start of our second quarter, so there are 90 new art students in my room, already coming up with very creative ideas!
Here are some of their still life art works. They focused on value, shading, highlights, contour lines and form.

Weaving

6th graders learned all about weaving and created these colorful art works.
Vocabulary: weft, warp, loom, interlock-weft, yarn and tassels.  Various world cultures were also studied.

Quilling

7th graders learned about the old art form of quilling. Nuns in Europe used to create quil art work out of old book pages to decorate book covers.  Quilling also experiences a revival during colonial times in America.

Clay!

6th and 7th grade students turned their two-dimensional drawings into 3D clay forms.  They learned about hand-building techniques such as slab, coil and pinch pot methods.  These pieces were fired to 1,200 degrees in the kiln.  Nice job students!
