Ceramic Masks
Humans and masks have always gone together. Cultures throughout history have made masks for ceremony and ritual. The masks simultaneously hide the wearer while transforming them, exaggerating some power or characteristic within. Animal features are often used to represent the wearer taking on that animals spirit or traits. We looked at various masks from around the world and students created their own. Here they are!:

Patterned Marker Drawings
Emulating the style of graphic artist Nikki Farquharson, SHS art students created their own marker drawings, choosing and tracing a subject matter and then surrounding it with colorful patterns. Happy Friday and here they are:

Reductive Linoleum Prints
As a class, we went on a little field trip and did a photo scavenger hunt to try to capture interesting pictures. Students then picked their favorite to turn into a linoleum print. By hand, they colored on top of the grey tone photo, to simplify it into only 3 shades, black, white and grey. They traced these shapes onto linoleum and cut them in layers, printing in whichever colors they wished. Here they are:

And check out Jamie Jacobson’s Elephant! The tail is a drawer that slides out to store something.
Advanced Ceramics – Goblets
Advanced Ceramic students made their goblets in two pieces, the stem and the cup, then attached them. We took inspiration from Indian Jones and the Last Crusade, the epic scene where the Nazi choses the wrong cup and ages to dust before your eyes! “He chose poorly”… I think they did a great job, here they are!
