Middle School Grid Portraits
This quarter, I have the pleasure of teaching 6th graders art (plus the lovely 8th grader Julie German)! Our last project was inspired by Chuck Close, an artist who uses grids to draw amazing portraits on a large scale. Check out their work!

Mount Marathon Designs
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!

NOSB Art Show Results
Much thanks to Judy McDonald for the huge task of putting on the NOSB art show every year! She arranges the show with mailed in and hand delivered pieces from high schoolers all over the state, carefully unwrapping large, fragile, bubble wrapped masses, hanging art from fishing nets, matching pieces to labels, and finding local artists to juror the show. The opening was tonight at the Rea Building and will be up through the weekend. I wanted to highlight Seward participants who received awards, although teens from all over the state made and were awarded for beautiful and interesting Ocean themed art.
Seward High received two First Place Prizes!
Bekah Dean 1st Place in 3-D
Ruby Lindquist 1st Place in Mixed Media
Anastasia Storle 2nd Place in 3-D
Lydia Thomas 4th Place in 3-D
