Chihuly Inspired Sea Life

The Art 2 students have turned the front lobby showcase into an aquarium! Come and check out their wire and tissue paper sea life sculptures! We studied the blown glass work of Dale Chihuly and his use of color and watched a movie about sea life before beginning our sculptures.

Art 1 Sgraffito Bowls

The first Art 1 clay project is complete! The sgraffito bowls are out of the kiln, and they look great! Students used the ancient technique of sgraffito (removing a top layer to reveal a lower layer) to tell a story from their life. We shared the stories in class; some were happy, some were sad, and many were funny!

Come and see the Self-Portrait Busts!

They are finished! We are so excited to show off the hard work that the Advanced Art students put into their self-portrait busts - they are almost as beautiful as the students who created them! Students spent an intense three weeks completing these, and we really hope that you will come and check them out in the athletic foyer. Here are some pictures, but they are better in person!
