Current Projects

Grade 7- ceramic frog instruments are drying...mallets have been made this week with dowel rods and instant papier mache'. Students will paint frogs after firing. The dowel rod mallets will be stained and painted to match the frog design.

Students are working on designing an illuminated letter for printmaking. Students will reverse and transfer the letter onto a soft cut block. They will then use linoleum cutters to make a 4 color reduction print.

Grade 6- ceramic wind chimes are drying...along with a practical ringer, decorative ringer, and 3-4 handmade beads. Students will paint and construct the wind chimes after the firing process.

Students are working on designing an African shield for printmaking. Students will carve the design into a foam block....print 5-6 and then cut and collage the prints to form 2 final prints. We will sew around edges and add the handmade beads.
