A TRIBUTE TO NEW ORLEANS

A TRIBUTE TO NEW ORLEANS-ART I
I wanted students to draw an architectural drawing and I loved the outcome of our last project that was done in oil pastels, so we combined the architecture of New Orleans and the bright colors of the oil pastels.  I think the combination worked out great!

  Before starting on the project, we viewed some video clips of the jazz scene in New Orleans.  The students got to hear the music, see the bright colors and the brilliant architecture of the city.  They also saw the devastation that occured from Katrina.  I think that their work captures the essence of New Orleans from an interesting point of view.

We have been very busy in all the High School Art Classes.  Art I is working on Oil Pastel drawings of the acrhitecture and strutures of New Orleans.
Art II is still working on their masterpiece reproductions.
Art III, IV and Honors are working on individual projects of their choosing.
Here we are working hard!

NOVEMBER ART STUDENT OF THE MONTH


ART I students have been working hard on various drawing projects.  We have been using oil pastels for the past couple of weeks.  They are bright and beautiful when the project is finished, but it is a messy process.  I apologize for the messy clothing that students are wearing home on art days. 

ART II students are working on Masterpiece Reproductions.  They are copying the work of various master artists but they have to work with a different color palette.  I am so excited to see how they turn out.

Pictures below are students working on projects.




Sorry Pictures will not upload.....I will try again later.
