Some 8th graders have finished the Stations of the Cross project in Mr. Bell's Art Tech class, and several students are nearing completion. Students have drawn grids on small prints of illustrations by contemporary artist Shari Van Vranken. Proportionate larger grids have been drawn on card stock, upon which students scale up the small images by drawing the contents of each grid block with pencil and ink. After erasing the grid lines and photographing the drawings, the images are colored electronically on iPads.
The photos below show six finished Stations of the Cross images. A photo of Marshall Wingfield's drawing demonstrates the patience and sustained block-by-block focus necessary for doing high-quality work on the drawing stage of the project.
Also below, 2ME art students appear at the end of a class during which they were finishing the construction and assembly of the basic cross shape of their paper, cardboard, and paper mache sculptures. Students will soon build support bases and create colorful tassels for the upper ends of the crosses. Students will carry these works into the church during the 8th grade All Saints Program on November 6th.
