Sixth graders spent most of the week working with the element of shape. We talked about the difference between organic and geometric shapes and when we all knew what those were students created creatures using only organic or geometric shapes. These drawings were finished on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday we worked on beginning our newspaper sculptures which we will continue next week.
Seventh Grade
In seventh grade we discussed balance, proportion, and space and talked about the Japanese design concept of Notan. We made collages which represented our new found knowledge and mimicked Notan through our use of color and symmetry.
Eighth Grade
Eighth graders spent the week learning about coil building pottery. They made a coil built vessel this week, which are drying out as I type this. I'll fire them next week and hopefully we can glaze the week after that. Pictures should come soon.
