Advanced Art
Congratulations to Gretchen Lindquist for creating the winning mural design! Her Jellyfish design will be located on the bathrooms by the skate park. The Mural Society ordered us six 4’x8′ aluminum panels (thanks Jennifer Headtke!), which we cut down to 4’x6′ (thanks Ronn Hemstock!) to facilitate the 6’x 24′ design. We then sanded, washed and primed all of the panels. Gretchen is currently drawing/projecting the design onto the panels. Once she’s done, her classmates will help her begin to paint!
Here are some more random projects from Advanced Art Students at Seward High:

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!

Nikki Farquharson Style Drawings
After looking at the artwork by illustrator Nikki Farquharson, Seward High Art Students made their own patterned artwork using markers. They traced or collaged in the main figure, then developed intricate patterns for the background. I think they turned out really nice!
