7th and 8th Grade Art

The students have returned from their trip energized and ready to create. We took some time to see the glazed ceramic work and made note of any improvements that could occur with glazing, construction or general craftsmanship. I was so relieved to finish the glazing firing in the kiln and I am so proud of the work the students created. We began a new project this week constructing a wire "quilt". The students used a heavy 14 gauge aluminum wire to create a 5x5 inch frame. Various colored wire, beads or found objects were used to create a composition for the quilt square. Each student will make 4 squares and then we will wire them all together to create one piece. This work is great for fine motor skills, problem solving, color theory and composition.
