High School Art Students-Drawing from Nature and African Mask Inspired Art

Art I students have been studying drawing in class. They are learning a variety of shading techniques.  The drawings above are inspired by God's creation.  Students worked from copyright free clip-art images and worked in pencil.  


Art II students are working on Paper Mosaics.  There is always a lot of whining and complaining while they are working on this project, but the results are worth it.  Art II is an art history based approach to art and the art we produce will sometimes reflect what we are learning in class.  The paper mosaic project is inspired by the mosaics from Ancient Greece and Rome.  The students do not have to work with historical images, but they still learn about the work involved in creating a mosaic.  Below are photos of the students working in class on projects.  I hope to post the completed projects in a few weeks.
