Kindergarten art students combined the tracings of cardboard rectangles to draw the bodies of their giraffes. Students learned that simple shapes can be used to make more complex forms. Tempera paint was applied with cotton swabs and fingers.

Seventh grade Art Tech students have recently been designing cross pendants with the Tinkercad computer-aided design app on their iPads. Students learned various techniques for modifying, manipulating, and combining the most basic shapes of the Tinkercad toolkit to develop the complex forms of their own unique designs. Shown below are a selection of designs by 7th graders that they created for 3D printing. The 3D printed models will be wearable as necklace pendants on a string or thin chain. Students of the 5th grade art classes have made relief sculptures of aquatic animals. The grid method was employed for drawing from photos of sea creatures. Students transferred their drawings to Styrofoam sheets which they cut out with saws. The volumetric form of each animal was sculpted with paper and tape. The skin was made with paper mache and glitter glue. In the 5D art class photos shown below, most students are performing the final step of the project, which is making paper eyes for their sea animals. |
