Theibaud Cakes

 

The cakes by the 6th grade were done in chalk pastels in the style of  Wayne Thiebaud.

First the cakes were drawn in perspective with pencil, than color was added. Finally the shadow and highlights were added and blended with the students finger. 

Art Club (painting)

 

 

The art club worked on painting still life.

The goal was to learn how to use light, middle and dark tones to give dimension.

It can be a challenge working with tempera paint, but they handled it just fine.

And the winners are....

The Great Food Truck Challenge

 

 

 

The other day I was in Boston having something to eat from a food truck. The design on the truck was striking and got me thinking it would be fun to design one some day. Then I thought, I bet the students would like to also.

So the Great Food Truck Challenge began.
The 7th grade competing against the 8th grade.

Here is a sample of the designs.
The students created the name, look and menu for each truck.

Thanks to Mrs. Stanley in computer for helping with this assignment too.

The ballots are still coming in, but I think we'll have the winners in by next week.

I'll have the winning grade and a first, second and third place individual.

Good Luck!

Williams Art

 

 

Thanks to William for sharing his artwork with the class. Now I'm going to share them with everyone. Nice work!

Art Club

Jumping right into Art Club. We started with watercolors. The students worked on "wet on wet" techniques of painting. Glad to see all the new 4th grade faces in the club. Next week will be color mixing.

Castles with Surprises

 

 

This was a fun little project with the 4th graders. While watching me draw a simple castle building the students followed along. Then they were encouraged to add their own touches and details. The doors and windows open to surprises. Skills we worked on were drawing a brick pattern, creativity and following direction.

Pastel Peacocks

 

The 3rd grade worked hard on these beautiful peacock drawings. They followed me step by step to draw the shapes then they chose the colors from the oil pastels. Once done they added dimension with a little highlight on the bird's body. I think the students were happy with what they did. They begged to bring them home, but I need to keep them for the Art Fair. So as a compromise I've put them here to view.
