Joel Schoon-Tanis guest artist visit

We had the pleasure of working with Michigan artist Joel Schoon- Tanis last week. It was an awesome experience and I think I can honestly say we all learned a lot.

I wanted to post this to remind everyone about what bullying can do to a person. Lets have a great year.

Day 1 Wheel Throwing. Such talent!!

 These are the brave.  The students who geared up, aproned up (is that a word?) and volunteered to try the wheels first.   They did very well!

Many more pictures were taken of this group.  However, I promised I would only publish the dignified ones. Hahhahahaha

Arcimboldo- Intro To DIGITAL ART

arcimboldo

Giuseppe Arcimboldo  (1526 or 1527 – July 11, 1593) was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of such objects as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books – that is, he painted representations of these objects on the canvas arranged in such a way that the whole collection of objects formed a recognizable likeness of the portrait subject.

We attempted this same style using Photoshop!!!!

Intro to Digital Art- Urban Farming Project

Students looked at different ways society treats gardens and non-traditional gardening techniques such as growing a garden inside of a house or in your front yard.  Using this idea as inspiration, students were asked to create a digital image that experiments with bringing the outdoors inside.  Or covering a man-made surface with natural elements
