This video is a look at the Stations of the Cross at our school during Holy Week. Fr. Jim Magee led our students and faculty in the Stations, with special artwork created by 8th grade students.
8th graders drew the Stations of the Cross in art tech class. Students drew grids with 1/2-inch squares on small prints of illustrations by contemporary artist Shari Van Vranken. They made proportionate grids with 1-inch squares on their drawing papers in order to scale up the images they are observing. 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 drawings, students developed their images further with Sketchbook graphic design software on their iPads.
