Who Let the Dogs Out? Woof! Woof!

4/22/2025

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

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

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

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.
