Klimt Inspired Scratchboard Collages

Detail from Klimt Painting

SMS Students studied Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. His work is filled with gold, flattened, forms filled with geometric shapes. This stylization is juxtaposed by realtively realistically rendered faces and skin. We replicated Klimt’s style by using gold scratchboard and photos from magazines. I think they turned out pretty cool!

Ceramic Hands

by e10391

For our first project in SHS’s Ceramics Class and SMS Art Class we went back to basics – the human hand. Hands have been connected to our personal identities and to our humaness since we lived in caves. Seward High Students took inspiration from henna designs, hand tattoos, folk art, and anataomy to name a few. Great job!

Graphic Design

I haven’t taught Photoshop in years and it is pretty fun to get back into it! Seward High Students are quick learners and are creating all sorts of projects while learning the tools of Photoshop. Here are some of them!
