Self Portrait Paintings
Seward High Intro to Art Class just completed Self Portrait Paintings. The project began as a drawing assignment, with students drawing and enlarging a posterized photo of themselves by using a grid. They transferred the drawing onto canvas and painted it with tints and shades of a color of their choosing. They turned out great! Come to the Music and Arts Festival this weekend to see them in real life!

Ceramic Trays
To start off the year, Seward High ceramic students created textured draped trays. They rolled clay into 1/4 inch slabs with our slap roller, added some sort of texture through incision, stamping, applique or slicing techniques, and then draped this clay over beveled wooden forms. Thanks to Ron Hemstock for cutting the molds for us, and to the Shirks for donating stained glass scraps to melt inside.
