This week, AiR | Artist-in-Residence Marty Carney welcomed students from Mr. Soik’s Honors Humanities II Class into his OpenSpacesStudio as they began to visualize and sketch preliminary ideas for their upcoming paper on Roman civilization. Below you see several of their sketches in progress:
Sketching an idea…
The beginnings of a Hero…
Beginning sketch of a Roman eagle or “Aquila” in Latin
Marty Carney, the Artist-in-Residence continues to meet with Mr. Soik’s Honors Humanities II Class as they explore Roman civilization. Next week, the class will meet in the OpenSpacesStudio to create an art project which expresses and focuses their learning thus far about Rome. Mr. Soik is calling this event: “ArtPlosion.” Sounds like an adventure!
Marty is also continuing the underdrawing of a canvas in preparation for painting the image soon:
AiR | Under-Drawing for Upcoming Painting
This week, AiR|Artist-in-Residence, Marty Carney, has begun a new painting in his studio located in room 17. Below you see the under-painted canvas which awaits Marty’s next step–applying the outline drawing.
During Art Club this past Tuesday, Marty also created a small abstract painting within the hour, seen below.
This week has also included participating in Mr. Soik’s Honors Humanities II class as they explored the principles of Roman civilization. In a few weeks Marty will brainstorm with the students creative, “out of the box,” projects which they could potentially create to express what they have learned about Rome. Below is a snapshot of the class work detailing the principles of Rome. (To better understand what will eventually become their class assignment, Marty listened and served as a recorder for the discussion as you see below).
Finally, with the help of art teacher, Mr Juarez, Marty has begun a collaboration with Mrs. Heidemann for a potential art project about color and light within her chemistry class. Here’s a view of the notes about that potential project…
The North High art department is happy to announce that Mr. Juarez and Mrs. Mattern’s art students will be exhibiting at Silver Lake College in Manitowoc. The exhibition will run from March 28 – May 9, 2016. There will be reception for the students – TBD.

The Artist-in-Residence, Marty Carney has been creatively busy over the past week. Below you see a new oil painting which he has begun:
In addition to creating new art, on Thursdays, Marty is also sitting in with Mr. Soik’s 4th hour “Honors Humanities II” class as they study, among other realities, the art of Western Civilization. Marty hopes to work with Mr. Soik and his class as they are learning to appreciate historic art forms, and perhaps, even express themselves and their learning with their own art this semester. Below is Marty’s prep work for meeting with the class on Thursday, February 18th:
Marty is also working to finish and to frame several oil paintings, as you see below…
If you are interested, you can see several finished works of art by Marty hanging in the Art Department display case:
Last semester Art Foundations 3 students explored the idea of creating an endotopic or extopic sculpture out of balsa wood. This semester they revisited their sculptures and now were expected to draw what they created using a unique perspective.
Congratulations to senior, Jamie X, for being selected as one of four students whose work is featured on this year’s JMKAC YAM Postcard. You can see this piece along with 300+ others on Sunday, February 21. There is a student reception from 11am-3pm at 608 New York Avenue in Sheboygan.
Come celebrate the success of these fab art students from across the county.
