To kick off the new school year, 8th graders have begun drawing the Stations of the Cross in Mr. Bell's Art Tech class. Students have drawn grids with 1/2-inch squares on small prints of illustrations by contemporary artist Shari Van Vranken. Proportionate grids with 1-inch squares have been drawn on larger sheets of card stock in order to scale up the small images. Math concepts are reinforced as students must remain focused on corresponding positions on 2 graphs as they draw the contents of each grid block. When finished with their pencil drawings, students go over their lines with permanent marking pens. Students photograph their drawings after erasing the grid lines and stray pencil marks. Then, the images are developed further and colored electronically with the Sketchbook graphic design app on students' iPads.
