These frames were more difficult than I’d imagined to construct! Students made a paper pattern first and then traced their design onto clay slabs. The photos slide into a little compartment in back and all the frames have a way to be hung too! Thanks students for your patience and creative designs!

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!

Human hands printed by spraying paint through bone-made pipes over a hand pressed against the wall. Cueva de las Mano, Argentina, circa 7300 BC

First Quarter Ceramics

by e10391

Seward High Ceramics Class has been up to a lot this quarter! They began by making paper mache circus animals to decorate the Seward Music and Arts Festival. This involved drawing out patterns, projecting them onto large sheets of plywood, cutting the parts out with jigsaws and routers, constructing the wooden forms with screws and nails, adding the muscle and flesh with newspaper and chicken wire, paper mache-ing the outside, and painting! Here are some process shots!

After all that work, they finally began with clay, and the first assignment was to create a sculptural container with a removable lid:

Advanced Ceramics – Goblets

by e10391

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!
