Printmaking and Radial Design

This lesson idea came from a former printmaking teacher and I now understand why he did this every year, the results are great.  The Pre IB Art 1 students learned some basic printmaking processes while creating these radial designs.  These artworks were created in three layers, requiring students to plan out complex compositions.  Craftsmanship was key in creating these artworks, starting with measuring the out the angles so that the pie shapes would fit perfectly.  Students also had to be extra careful that their foam plates printed clearly and ink only ended up where they wanted it.

Flowers and plants

The Pre IB Art 1 students drew flowers or plants on a colored background.  Students had to choose a composition that would run off the page and then they used pastels and charcoal to complete their picture.

The start of a new school year.

It's been a great start to the year and it has been nice to see all my returning students as well as the new students.  I think I have more Pre IB 9th graders than ever before.  We may be just four weeks into school but we have been busy.  Check out the great artwork below.

Pre IB Art 1 students created a text design that incorporated their name.

The Pre IB Art 2 student created abstract sculptures using styrofoam cups.  They were to consider occupied and unoccupied space in this introduction to 3D assignment.

AP Art students completed their first photography assignment looking for geometric shapes and using either repetition or emphasis to create visually interesting compositions.
