POST IT NOTE PANDOMINUM

For our post-it note project, my group decided to do Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga was readlly difficult to make, because of her fair skin and her blond hair, so you couldn't really tell who she was. To make the project, first you had to print off a picutre in the gradient setting so you could tell what color to put the sticky note. The entire picture had to be 40 by 40 sticky notes high. My job for this project was to write on the wall where the sticky notes should go. This was a difficult job because it was sometimes hard to tell which color was correct.

Pastels!

Last week in art class we learned about pastels. Pastels are kind of like a chalk, and you color and mix the pastels to create a picture. The first day we learned about pastels we colored onions, apples, and squash. In this picture, I colored an onion. We had to add five different colors to each drawing we did in a pastels, to add colors and highlights.

Value Scale

Last week, we did value scales of people from our sister school in Ontario, Canada. The main point of this project is to not be afraid of the dark! I started out drawing the main shapes of the face with tracing paper, then added all of the other effects.

LIGHT ART

A couple of weeks ago we did a really cool art project with glowsticks. We turned off all the lights, listened to same killer Lady Gaga tunes and MADE ART. We put the camera on shutter speed for thirty seconds and then wrote my name, "Anna" with our glowsticks. By far it was my favorite project!

Animal hands!

Last week in Art we had to paint our hands in the shape of an animal. We fist drew contour and blind contour lines of our hands. After that, we drew a contour line of our hand in the shape of an animal. I colored in my animal, a wolf, with colored pencils to make it more realistic. The next day in class, we got to paint our hand in the shape of the animal!

Tape Mural!

This week in art class we composed a mural of masking tape in the courtyard. Our idea was a city at night in the middle of the courtyard. Our process started with making the curved road at the bottom.Then we each picked a buliding to tape and each finished that. At the end we all signed our names and included the phrase "Make Art". We helped each other along the way too!
