Art QR5

Today was a fun-packed and entertaining day, but it was also a bit sad, because we all had to say farewell to Madison and Kyler, who are moving to South Africa.  Maddie and Kyler, we will miss you! Every student and teacher at HSC signed a huge going-away card for the two, keeping it a secret until lunch time when the card was presented. There is a very nice and well written article about the siblings in the latest issue of  HSC News .  Be sure to check it out! Today's images are from the Open House, where we had a great turnout! Once again, we had live performances of music and acting, and lots of art on display. As with yesterday's show, the art featured here is from Ceramics I and II ,  Explorations in Art I and II , And Art from Paper ! Ceramics II students helped to set up the table display, and students in the other art classes chose "the perfect spot" on the wall for their 2-dimensional work.  Great job, everyone! Young chefs in the culinary arts class (a...

Can you believe that this week marks  the end of the first semester ?  It sure went by quickly! Because of the amount of work generated this semester, and because each day has their own open house and art show, I thought it appropriate to give each day their own posting here. This is just a small sampling of the work done in class. Remember that most of it has been taken home over that past several weeks :) Students have been working hard all semester, creating beautiful and unique works of art .  Today I asked each young artist to pick a good spot in the classroom to display their art. Each work was appropriately labeled with the artist's name, title, and medium. While 2-dimensional works covered most of one wall,  the 3-D works were displayed in the center of the room.  The artwork represented in today's posting comes from a variety of classes:  Explorations in Art (I and II),  Art from Paper ,  . . . And Ceramics I and II . Our Open House bega...

This past week students in every class began preparations for the end of the semester, and for Art Show entries. Remember that the  Art Show is this coming week , so if I've asked you to bring something in for the show, please do! The images here are from our final December 2009 classes.  In each class, each day, we created  art from recycled materials! The beautiful "tondo" works featured in today's post were created from junk mail CDs . Students worked hard to create these gorgeous little works of art. The shiny side was left as is, so that it can reflect light!  Just imagine how beautiful these look,  catching and bouncing light around students' homes!  Great work, Everyone! And speaking of great work . . . it's time to announce the winners of the 1st semester web challenges. I'd planned to hand out 1st and 2nd place prizes for each day (Tuesday through Thursday, which is 6 prizes total), but only the Tuesday and Wednesday students chose to partici...
