Health Fair Stencils

by e10391

Seward High Art Students created multilayer stencils illustrating any healthy activity in their lives for the Seward Community Health Fair this past weekend.  The public was welcome to jury this art show and four students pieces were voted as the most popular and will be receiving prizes!  Congrats in no particular order to Marisa Phasomsap, Tegan Retzer, Hana Cooney and Cody Bryden!  Students edited photos on Photoshop, then hand cut each stencil layer (color) with exacto knives onto cardstock.  They sprayed each layer lightly with spray-paint, waited for it to dry and then added the next. Great Job!

Playing Card Assignment

by e10391

For this project, we looked at playing card designs and talked about rotational symmetry – where a design is flipped 180 degrees instead of being a mirror image. Here is what SHS Art Students came up with for their own designs!

Crayon Art

by e10391

We have found that melting crayons is pretty fun!  Students came up with a composition that would incorporate crayons, created a painting, dripped, splattered and melted the crayons with blow driers!  Here are some of the results!

The eye is the window to the middle schoolers soul… 🙂 We studied and practiced drawing the human eye.  The assignment was to draw an eye using oil pastel and chalk on black paper and to make something unique about it.  Here they are, awesome job SMS Art students!

Seward Middle School students learned how to mix all 12 colors of the color wheel using just the primary colors: red, yellow, blue!  Then they were given the assignment to come up with a composition which included all 12 colors!  Here is what they came up with, great job!

Seward High School Watercolor Paintings

by e10391

Seward High students learned 12 different watercolor techniques, including using salt, rubbing alcohol, tissue paper, etc.  Then they hand drew a person or animal and used this drawing to create a water color painting, utilizing at least 5 of these techniques as they chose.  They did an amazing job!  See if you can figure out what technique they used where!

Illusions with lines

by e10391

To end the year, we did a variety of small projects involving optical illusions using lines and rulers!  We started with the 3-D hand or sphere illusion, then did a one point perspective room, and ended with 3-D one point perspective letters!  Here are just a few of them!

Reductive Block Prints

by e10391

The first semester is wrapping up here at Seward High and we are ready for our holiday break! SHS Art students completed block prints and did a great job! The artistry was in identifying and simplifying the image into 3 different values (light medium dark) and also showing different textures! Then they had to carve this image into linoleum and print in layers to get the different colors/values. Here are some great ones for you to check out!
