Art Foundations 3 students are working on a shape integrated project, which addresses the use of space, repetition, color, and movement. The idea is based on the concept of “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”.
Here are some works in progress.

Drawing/Painting I students composed their own compositions via digital camera or cell phone. The image had to consist of a) person/people, b) place, and c) surrounded/interacting with things. This photos were enlarged to a minimum of 16.5 x 22in and drawn with pencils, color pencils, markers, oil pastels, pen & ink, etc. Here are some work in progress.
Art Foundations 1 students have began the still life process. After their initial presentation, they were introduced to the world of thumbnail sketches based on their observations from several still life stations.
Into the World of Still Life Drawing.
The Art Foundations 1 students are undergoing a colorful transformation between realism to abstraction. Last week we spend time on Color Theory and now the have to implement what they learned into their very own masterpiece. Each painting with a different twist on Abstraction. Here are some works in progress.
Drawing/Painting I students are to select a topic that you are interested in working with such as but not limited to: fashion, careers, cars, culture, surreal, random, etc. Using magazines, drawings, and newspapers they are to begin searching for images relating to their topic. Using these images they begin to cut these images out and create a collage in their sketchbook using their knowledge of appropriation and juxtaposition to determine composition. Finally, they learn how to stretch their very own canvas.
Art Foundations 3 students were engaged in developing their self-portraits through the use of tissue paper cut into very small squares. The build up of layers demonstrated the students knowledge of their use of value.
This project was facilitated by Elizabeth Moritmer, Silver Lake College student teacher.
The North High Art Club completed making the holiday wreaths for “Making Spirits Bright” Holiday Lights at Evergreen Park in November.

The wreaths will be on display in the Quarry Building.
Today is the last day that the Drawing/Painting I students work with Sheboygan-based artist, Kay Jelinek. The art students learned quite a bit of what it takes to make their very own collaged work of art. Here are the last of the photographs from this experience.
Thanks Kay.
