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:

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!

Homage to Art History
Students first researched various famous painters from art history. Then they picked their favorite artist and chose one of their paintings to recreate. They drew it by hand, then painted it with acrylic paint using the verdaccio (italian) or grisaille (french) technique which was developed in the middle ages. In this technique, the painting is first done entirely on a gray scale to create depth and value, and then color is added in glazes. They did a great job, and succesfully integrated their own personalities into these paintings, check them out:

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!

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!
