Cross Pendant Blessing

5/23/2025

0 Comments

 
Students of the 7th grade Art Tech classes designed cross pendants with the Tinkercad computer-aided design app. After viewing various Celtic-style cross designs for inspiration, students used this engineering software to express their own creativity. These 3D printed crosses are worn on a string or thin chain. Fr. Magee blessed the pendants at Mass on May 14.

Puppet Movies, a 3D Print, and Origami Hats

5/18/2025

0 Comments

 
Seventh grade Art Tech students made animal hand puppets which are featured in their short music videos.  The puppets were made with paper, cloth, cardboard, tape, wire, paint, adhesive googly eyes, yarn, and paper mache.  Students made mass uniform shirts for their creations.  The boy animals have ties.  Students shot video of their puppets against green screens or a puppet stage with a blue background.  Several students have shot video outside the art room for use as backgrounds when applying the greenscreen technique.  Students  edited their videos in the iMovie app on their iPads, and employed iMovie soundtracks.  On the name labels of the videos below, if there are more names than there are puppets, the final name is the videographer.

The Tinkercad church model shown below was designed by eighth grader Alessandro Falasca, a member of our Middle Robotics and CAD Group.  The resulting 3D print also appears here.

The 1st grade art classes are shown below with paper hats that they created.  Prior to making these origami "Samurai helmets" with large squares of paper, first graders learned the folding techniques with small squares of printer paper.  Mrs. Coronado, a first grade assistant teacher who works with Mr. Bell each week during the 1st grade art classes, is shown wearing her hat.

7th grade Art Tech students have created animal hand puppets which have been starring in their short music videos.  The puppets were made with paper, cloth, cardboard, tape, wire, paint, adhesive googly eyes, yarn, and paper mache.  Students made mass uniform shirts for their creations.  The boy animals have ties.  Students shot video of their puppets against green screens or a puppet stage with a blue background.  Several students have shot video outside the art room for use as backgrounds when applying the greenscreen technique.  Students  edited their videos in the iMovie app on their iPads, and employed iMovie soundtracks.  On the name labels of the videos below, if there are more names than there are puppets, the final name is the videographer.  

Kindergarteners made symmetrical paper flowers by folding, cutting, and gluing colored paper.  Tempera paint was used to create grass, stems, and leaves in these artworks from the KB class.

Who Let the Dogs Out? Woof! Woof!

Third grade art students recently created virtual models of dogs, as well as doghouses and pens, with Sketch Up for Schools computer-aided design (CAD) software on Chromebooks.  By using this geometry-based digital tool, students learned that lines can be used to form planes and that planes can become components of complex structures. A selection of works by students of the 3D class appears below. ​

Stations of the Cross

4/16/2025

0 Comments

 
Eighth graders in Mr. Bell's Art Tech classes used the Renaissance-based grid method to create free-hand pencil and ink drawings of the Stations of the Cross which they colored electronically on iPads. Illustrations by contemporary artist Shari Van Vranken served as models for this student art.

The 8th grade classes did such a good job on the Stations of the Cross project this year that Mr. Bell decided to show two artworks for each station, instead of just one, as we have done in the past. The artwork was posted on the playground for the school-wide Stations of the Cross during Holy Week.

A Roman Temple and Springtime Butterflies

4/9/2025

0 Comments

 
First grade art students have learned about symmetry by drawing half of a butterfly on a folded piece of paper, cutting it out, and then unfolding it.  Crayons were used to color the butterflies.  Flowers and other landscape components were made with cut colored paper.  Students used glue sticks to affix the butterflies and the other objects to a background paper.

A Tinkercad model by 6th grader Henry Madubeze and his resulting 3D print are shown below.  His design was inspired by the entrance to the Pantheon in Rome.  Henry is a member of our after-school Robotics and Computer-Aided Design group.

Sailing into Computer-Aided Design

4/3/2025

0 Comments

 
Fourth grade art students have recently made virtual 3D models of sailboats in landscapes with Sketch Up for Schools computer-aided design (CAD) software on Chromebooks.  During work on this project, students learned tool usage and design techniques.  Students made their sailboats and landscapes primarily with the rectangle, arc, and line tools. They used other tools to extrude (push-pull), move, resize, color, and rotate forms.  ​

3D Printed Church Designs and Birds in Flight

3/20/2025

0 Comments

 
Watercolor paintings centered around paper bird constructions were recently created by 2nd grade art students. Sections of the paper birds were drawn, cut, and assembled with glue.  Watercolored areas and linear crayon patterns in the sky echo the shapes of the birds and help unify the compositions.

The 3D prints and computer-aided designs of churches shown below are by 6th grader Christopher Tulis and 8th grader Lucas Mora. They are members of our middle school robotics and CAD group, which meets on Thursdays and Fridays.
