Reductive Linoleum Prints
Students began their prints with an original drawing. On the drawing they planned 3 different colors to separate the various objects and shapes. Within the shapes they added some texture. They transferred their design onto linoleum, carved it out and printed the colors in layers. This time we experimented with paper, printing onto colored paper, old maps, magazines, etc… Here are the ideas they came up with:

Middle School Paintings
At the quarter, a new group of middle schoolers came up to the high school for art class. This group is mostly 8th graders. Here is their first project, working with color mixing and acrylic paint. Each student drew their own composition and mixed each color using only the primary colors, red, yellow and blue. They are really talented, check out their work!

Slab Containers
For a change of pace, the 2-D art class worked in 3-D for a project, producing slab containers out of clay. The assignment was to create a slab container whose dimensions added up to at least 20 inches, to join the pieces well and smooth the seams. It is always cool to see the different ideas people come up with, here are some of the best!
