Patterns in Nature: 8th grade hands. students were asked to find a pattern nature. They chose anything from animal fur to microorganisms. They replicted the pattern using acrylic paint on 12×18″ paper. Once their painting was complete, they camoflaged their hand within the painting. I photograped each composition and now students are manipulating the images in PhotoShop. They are INCREDIBLE! And best of all, the students are so impressed with themselves
Last week I took my 8th grade students down to the auditorium, turned off the house lights and let them experiment with light painting. They had a blast and they came up with some really fun images. I basically took them through this tutorial and demonstrated how to create a light painting with a point and shoot camera. I set up a station for each table of four students throughout the auditorium and let them have at it. Next time I’d like to try to experiment with different kinds of light so
little collaborative free time project. As any Art teacher knows students work at very different speeds. There always ends up being extra time for some students while others struggle to finish. I like to have a structured group project going on at all times for students to participate in whenever they have down time. Right now they are working on a large scale magazine collage color wheel. A few weeks back I ask students who finished early to start going through magazines and finding primar
I start off every semester with a variation of this same project. I introduce five artists and a different technique with each artist. This allows me to start the semester with a good dose of Art History and with each different technique I address the skills involved as well as how to clean up and store things properly. I have adapted this project to papier mache, t-shirt design and many other two-dimensional projects. For the pinwheels we started out with a 12×12″ piece of white tagboard.
Entry deadline beginning of March... Google’s “Doodles”. They are the little illustrations that pop up on Google’s homepage on holidays and other special occasions with links to information about the event. Each year Google has contest to create an original doodle focusing on a particular theme. This years theme is “If I could travel in time, I’d visit . . .”. I love the idea of taking a globally recognized logo and modifying it to fit a theme. gave my 8th graders a sketchbook assignment

My students just completed another “free time” activity. If students finish early or are waiting for something to dry I asked them to sift through magazines and cut out the letters A-R-T. It was amazing how many times they found those letters all together! A couple of students volunteered to paint a frame on a piece of 23×20″ masonite. Then each class worked on assembling the letters onto the masonite. When the work was complete we coated it with gloss medium and wah-la! p.s. I’m not sur

This is one of my *favorite* ceramic projects . . . SHOES! I ask each of my 8th graders to bring in a shoe or boot to use as inspiration for their clay project. Above are just a few examples. I have been blown away by their creativity and talent. Most of the construction is complete. We will let the shoes dry over Spring Break. I will bisque fire them the following week and then the students will glaze their bisque pieces. Then the shoes go back to the kiln for the glaze firing.

Continuous Contour Line drawing. It really forces my students to draw from their heart. They used one contiuous line to draw their partner as well as the background. Everything in the background is actually in my classroom. These drawings are so whimsical and full of life.
Magnetic Personalities. These were made using a 12″ pizza pan, chipboard frame and ceramic facial features. Students first worked on a personal color palette by working with adobe kuler. Oncethey decided on a color scheme that illustrated their personality they drew a self portrait minus the facial features which were created using clay, fired and painted with acrylics. We adhered magnets to the back of the ceramic pieces and stuck them to the gessoed/painted pizza pans. Students made extra
