The Art Foundations 4 students created functional works of art based on the good ol’ teapot with a twist. The twist is to find a compound word that would excite them resulting in their own unique teapot (lid, spout, handle).

Art Foundations 2 Ceramic Houses
Here is a taste of what the Art Foundations 2 students created.
Art students were to design a house or building showing their understanding of front, side, back and aerial profiles. Then they were to determine desired dimensions, followed by creating a 3-Dimensional paper model. This model would provide them with a visual on how it would look as a form. Once approved, then they would disassemble the model and use it as template, which were traced onto slabs of clay.

Pastry Delight Revisited
Last year, the Drawing/Painting II students painted baker from Johnston Bakery in Sheboygan. Although the idea is not new, it sure was new for this year’s group of students. Here is a sneak peak of what will be on display at a local bakery near you. Well, not really near you if you do not live in Sheboygan, but perhaps close enough.
These paintings are acrylic on canvas, 16″x20″.
Compound Word Mania
The Art Foundations 4 art students are at it again. They are currently working on interpreting a compound word into a functional work of art. With over 2,000 compounds words available who wouldn’t want to make this project?
Can you name that compound word?
North High Murals (1978 – present)
Tonal Gridders
The Drawing/Painting I students were to create a large format drawing based on the grid. They were to use only tones to define shapes and extend their value scale found within their subject matter. Drawings range from 16×20″ to 18’x24″.
Future Inventors
The Advanced 3-D Design students are creating prototypes for future inventions based on their daily consumption of electronics, fashion, technology, etc. Visit us for more images.
Reproducing Famous Paintings
The Art Foundations 3 last project of the semester was to select an Impressionist, Expressionist, Abstract or Surreal artist and reproduce the work based on style and size. Most, if not all, paintings were created using oil, the students used acrylic paint. They were to write a one-page paper on the artist to gather research and to learn more about their chosen artist. Art students were expected to mix their own colors, replicate the image on canvas and assist with stretching the canvas.
