Sculpture, Drawing, and Design

10/9/2022

Second grade art students have been building paper and cardboard cross sculptures that they will use in the 8th Grade Saints Program on November 4th in the church.  Second graders will march into the church with their prayer partners and place their colorful crosses on the steps of the altar.  For this 3D design and construction project, students roll tubes of cardstock around wooden cylinders to build their cross forms.  Students learn techniques for measurement, securing the components with tape, and for reinforcing the structure as needed.  The goal for November 4th is to complete a cardstock skin for the cardboard base and to make flower-like paper tassels that extend from the ends of the upper portion of the cross.  After November 4th, students will begin to apply paper mache to their crosses.  Teamwork is an important aspect of this project, as students frequently help each other accomplish project goals. 

The cross images by seventh graders combine photos of students' hand-drawn art with coloring and shapes created using the Sketchbook app on iPads.  Students observed photos of the San Damiano Crucifix as they drew the figure of Jesus and the general shape of the cross.  In the areas around Jesus and within the cross shape, students have drawn people, things, and places that they are thankful for.  The designs of the areas outside the crosses were inspired by stained-glass windows of churches.

As an interlude between long-term projects, sixth grade art tech students have been experimenting with the drawing and design tools of the Sketchbook app on their iPads.  Many students were inspired by the kaleidoscopic effects they could create with the symmetry tool of the app.
