Advanced Art

Throughout the semester, Advanced Art experimented and created projects using ink, graphite, recycled material, acrylics, and a variety of mediums for sketchbook assignments. I greatly appreciated their willingness to try out unique ideas as taking home art supplies and sharing with other classes was a challenge, their time spent thinking outside the box for projects, and their desire to learn and grow in our time spent together as well.

We hope you enjoy!

Overlapping objects painting

While only being able to take home 2 paint tubes, we got creative with our limited supplies and students created an overlapping objects painting using only 3 colors. They strategically placed their objects and dividing lines and planned out where each color would go to create some unique and intriguing pieces.

Inspired Ink Project

Students researched various artists that inspired them who use ink as their main art medium. They then chose one specific artist to focus on and were asked to draw any image they wanted while imitating that artist's style.

Graphite Still Life

Students created their own still life using various objects at home that they composed and photographed. They then practiced the different graphite techniques they'e learned to draw their still life using graphite on gray paper.

Optical Illusions

Once again, students focused more on mixing colors and painting craftsmanship using only their 2 tubes of paint and blending skills to create 3d optical illusions.

Upcycled Art 

Students got creative with the materials they had available at home as they created up cycled art using only recycled materials of their choice. Our goal was not only to repurpose used materials for art but to also push ourselves to find and create beauty in things that we often don't pay attention to.

Sketchbook Assignments

Every two weeks throughout the semester, students had to pick a different theme off a given list and create a sketchbook piece that represented that theme in a creative way. This allowed a lot of exploration of different mediums they had available as well as gave them freedom to use their creativity and skill set in new and interesting ways.

Album Covers

Students were asked to either pick an artist that already exists or pretend they were a music artist and create a new album cover for that person. They focused on color palette, mood, font, composition, shape, and design to create a cover that represented the artist's music in a new and creative way using any medium they wanted.
