Seward High Art Class First Quarter
A whole quarter has nearly gone by! Here are some art updates! We began the quarter making small shrinky dink accessories. This was to practice our shrinky dink skills for the upcoming Capitol Christmas Tree Ornament project. We decorated the thin plastic sheets with sharpie and colored pencil, then baked them in the oven and watched them shrink to about 1/3 of their original size. I don’t have photos of the Ornaments, but maybe you saw some of them in person at SMAF? And I do have a photo of the shrinky dink portion of Riley Von Borstel’s Ornament below!

We had a two week figure drawing unit where we began by drawing Renaissance based formulas for the skeleton, face, and male and female forms. Then we did Life Drawing, students took turns posing for the rest of the class to draw in various costumes. Students had to learn how to draw quickly from observation, capturing proportions, contour lines, light and shadow in various mediums. They caught on really quickly!
