Pop Art Sneakers

 

This is a favorite project for the students. The 7th grade students first did a pencil rough of their sneaker. Then finishing by making a "contour" drawing using black maker.

Next they got inspiration from the shoe to make an interesting graphic pattern for the background.

That was created with paint using only shades of black, grey and white.

Collaborative Circles

Each 5th grader got a quarter of a circle to design with markers.

Once done each quarter is fit together to form an interesting circle pattern.

Big Eyes Mask

The K2 class was in the Halloween spirit when they made these crazy big eyed mask. Notice that they made them the same color of their real eyes. They got to work on painting and cutting skills too.

100 years of Sacred Heart School project

The 5th grade have been working on this large scale "stain glass window" with 100 Sacred Heart School logos. It will be quite impressive when it's done.

Crazy swirly line

 

Grade 1 stared by drawing a crazy swirly line. Next they had to look for the shapes they made within the twisted line. Each shape then got filled with a pattern using makers. The finished product is a lively abstract image.

Silhouette haunted house

 

Silhouette was the focus of this project. Halloween is right around the corner so the 2nd grade class made a sillouette of a haunted house and added their own scary details.

 

 

Apples in a blue bowl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I had to show a lot of these paintings because I'm so amazed with them. The K2 class started with watercolors to make the background and blue bowl. Then using red tempera they added three apples. We worked on apples in our last lesson.

Then after talking about shadows and highlights the students used oil pastels to make the white highlights to the apples and blue for the shadows. I'm very happy with the outcome.



Shading exercise

 

 

The class really hit it out of the park with this project. The 6th grade students are getting their shading skills down using colored pencils. The background was done with watercolors and plastic wrap.
