Introduction to Clay
The kids had so much fun with the clay. It is such an unpredictable process, but they did great with it. I didn't get all the names with the pictures, but here is a sampling of some of the pieces.

Drawing and Design I
Self Portraits and Perspective
Unfortunately my camera batteries gave out, so these pictures are off of my phone. They aren't great quality, but hopefully good enough to see the hard work these kids put into their work. The time flew by and not all the kids were able to finish all their work. I've just chosen to post at least one of each child's work, although they all did a great job on each one.

Action Art
The Art With A Buddy Class, made up of toddlers and preschoolers,
created "action art" inspired by Jackson Pollock using four different methods.
Happy Accidents
Sometimes what starts out as an accident. . .
turns into a beautiful surprise.

Camden
The kids LOVED this activity. It was great to see them let loose and not worry about what they were painting. They experimented with color and color mixing and then at the end, they allowed the colors and shapes to inspire a picture that wasn't planned. They had so much fun imagining all the different possibilities.

Somehow I made it out of class today without Annika's work, but don't worry, I will definitely add it tomorrow!
Observation
After carefully observing a small object for a few minutes, students drew their objects including the details they discovered.
Sophia-Age 9
Blind Contour
Blind Contour is an exercise where you only look at the object you are drawing and not at your paper. It helps to train the mind to actually see the object instead of trusting what you think you know.
