Cinematography Object Stories
For their first project, Seward High Cinematography students created digital stories about an object in their life that holds some personal significance. They wrote about the object, photographed it, and interviewed eachother about it. We studied color palette in films, and they were asked to create a color palette for their movie. They used Photoshop to edit their photos to follow the color scheme they had chosen. To create their digital story, they combined audio recordings, text, photos and music. I think they did a great job!

Advanced Art Self Portraits
Advanced art students made self portraits…. They did some self reflection and thought of an emotion or state they would want to convey, and chose the medium they’d like to use. Then, they drew themselves using a mirror. Here are the end results!

Seward High Art – Oil Pastel Eye Self Portraits
In the 2-D art class at Seward High, we began the year by looking at the human eye. Students studied the assemetrical eye shape, roundness of the eyeball, intricacies of the iris, edge of the eye lid, reflections off the eye, shape of the lashes and brow, and the tear duct. Taking this into account, they then made a large self portrait of their eye on black poster paper using oil pastels. Through the colors they used and designs they added, this project became a sort of self portrait of their inner personalities as well. They did an amazing job.

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!
