Mandalas
Seward High Art Students just finished a Mandala project. We began by looking at Eastern style Mandalas and talking about radial symmetry. Students came up with patterns or symbols to repeat around a circle. They used color pencil to color them in and had the option to make a background in any medium. They turned out awesome, great job!

Self Portrait Paintings
Seward High Intro to Art Class just completed Self Portrait Paintings. The project began as a drawing assignment, with students drawing and enlarging a posterized photo of themselves by using a grid. They transferred the drawing onto canvas and painted it with tints and shades of a color of their choosing. They turned out great! Come to the Music and Arts Festival this weekend to see them in real life!

Self Portrait Prints
To take a break from clay, Seward High’s Ceramic Classes did printmaking for their final project. They made 2 layer linocut self portrait prints. They began by photographing themselves an interesting pose, which was adjusted on photoshop under the threshold option. They traced all of the shapes of the photo onto a piece of linoleum. They then cut out the white areas and printed at least 4 copies in bright colors. Next, they cut out a bold pattern in the background and printed on top of the first prints in a darker color. They turned out great:

Encaustic Paintings
Seward High Art Students made Encaustic Paintings for the Art for Parks art show which is currently on display at the Kenai Fjords Visitor Center in the Harbor. The theme of the show this year was Sharing the Outdoors with the Big Wild: Moose, Goats, and Bears of Kenai Fjords National Park. The student art show, which has art from students K-12 will be on display from May 6-20, 2011. The Art for Parks program is awesome, it brings artists into classrooms of every grade in Seward, and also donates the materials for each project. Thanks to CJ Rea for organizing and to the artists involved for donating your time!
My students were assigned to create composite beasts with at least some features of a moose, goat or bear. They melted crayons on pancake griddles and painted with the wax to create textured paintings. They really had fun with this project and did great work.
