Drawing from Observation with Jr. High

The Junior High worked on their observational drawing skills during the first 9 weeks. After learning about contour lines and also shading, we combined these skills to complete a still life in class. 

Here is the link to the artsonia gallery for this project:

1st Quarter Ceramics

It's hard to believe the first quarter of school is completed! The students in 7th period art were busy last quarter working on basic ceramic techniques. Students designed a clay tile, large coil pot, and a pierced lantern/candle holder. Some students also enjoyed working on the potters wheel. 

Projects can be viewed on our artsonia gallery: http://www.artsonia.com/schools/school.asp?id=80848

Shading with Jr. High - Mystery Portrait

The Junior high recently completed this year's mystery portrait. Students learned how to use a set of drawing pencils to achieve a variety of values. They also practiced how to blend away pencil lines. Each Student then received a one inch square of a black and white portraits. Students were challenged to enlarge what they saw to a three inch square and replicate the exact textures, lines, and tones that they saw on the original square.


This is the Students favorite part of this project

Starting to come together....

FINISHED!!!!!!

Using iPads to post to Artsonia

Randolph Students have been very busy this first quarter creating art and using our new iPads in many ways! Between researching ideas for projects and posting artwork to our Arstonia Gallery, the iPads are used daily. 

It couldn't be easier. Artsonia generates a QR code that I place in the classroom. Once students complete a project, they scan the QR code to log in.

Select their name

And follow the prompts to add artwork and take pictures

 They follow the steps to upload an image and also create artist statements.
