Paper Mache Projects

by e10391

Paper Mache is a beautiful problem solving exercise – for any form you build, you need some sort of mold to drape the soggy paper over.  We used balloons, balled up newspaper, egg cartons, cardboard, tin foil, paper towel rolls, etc for our forms.  Our Paper mache recipe was wood glue + water.  High School students were given freedom on what to make, and look at all the cool things they came up with!

Mount Marathon Designs

by e10391

It was only January but SHS Art class was already working on Mt. Marathon logo designs.  The Seward Chamber of Commerce set rules: 4 colors, including Mt. Marathon Race, July 4th 2015, 88th Running, Seward Alaska, and Finisher!  This was a cool exercise in local pride and graphic design for my students, here are some of the top ones!  None were chosen this year but we will definitely enter again next year!

Aboriginal Style Dot Paintings

by e10391

Aboriginal-dot-art

Seward High Art Students looked South to Aboriginal Australians for inspiration for a painting project.  The indeginous people of Australia have been creating works of art covered in dots for tens of thousands of years.  They dip sticks into pigment to stamp out dots historically on bark, rocks, logs, and today on canvases.  These dot patterns tell stories and map out journeys.

 

SHS Art Students created paintings for the National Oceans Science Bowl Art Show with Ocean themes .  We drew out our designs, painting solid color down, and then used paint pens to decorate with dots.  This was a super fun project and they all did a great job!

Mandalas

by e10391

Seward High art students all made designs with radial symmetry, looking to the mandalas of the east for inspiration.  We used compasses, protractors and rulers to design the rough drafts, some drawing by hand and others tracing images to make even designs repeated around a center point.  They ended up using all sorts of media, colored pencil, oil pastel, paints and markers and really did a great job!

Klimt Style Paintings

by e10391

In Art Class at SHS, we studied the portrature of Gustav Klimt, which is known for its prominent use of gold and patterns.  Students drew and painted their own human protrait with acrylic paint and added gold detailing with gold paint markers.  This was a difficult project, they all were really patient and did a great job!

Day of The Dead Masks on Display at the Seward Library

by e10391

In Seward High Ceramics Class we studied the Mexican Holiday, “Dia de Los Muertos” or Day of the Dead.  On November 1st and 2nd Mexican Families celebrate the souls of their departed loved ones with prayers, treats, and skull images adorned with flowers, candles, diamonds, spider webs and crosses. This holiday has Aztec roots, this civilization did not fear death, however viewed it as a continuation of life, an awakening from a dream.  Some students went in a more Halloween-ish direction with their masks, which was fine with me, because they all did a great job!
