Late January

Despite the freezing temperatures and all of the illnesses that are going around the Triad, we are still producing outstanding art work at HPCA!

7th Grade Art

Seventh grade art just completed mixed media collage. We used either cars or flowers as the main piece and then surrounded the main piece with vintage book pages, and retro paper.  We then sponged on layers of tempera paint.  I think the results are fantastic!!!

It was such a fun and easy project.

Coming soon.....

TAG EXHIBITION AND MORE

Last night, I attended the Theatre Art Galleries Middle School Exhibition.  I was so proud of our students and their work.  The art work looked great and I think was the best wall at the show and the refreshments were good too.

Here are a couple photos from the exhibition.

Congratulations to all the students who showed work there.

7th Grade Boys

Learned how to write in calligraphy today.  They did a great job.

7th Grade Girls will finish up their illuminated crosses this week.

8th Grade began their Drawing unit.  So far they have worked with pencil and this week are working with soft pastels.  We will have more photos to view soon!

Another Post

We have so much to share since our last blog post.

First of all, I will tell you what we are currently working on so that you can look forward to the art work that is ahead.

7th Grade Art is learning about the Illuminated Manuscript of the Middle Ages.  The project that they will be working on before break and after break is an illuminated cross.  We will be using metallic gold paint to do the illumination.

8th Grade is currently learning about Printmaking and completed string prints last week.  Next week, they will be creating a styro-print using styrofoam as the block.

STRING PRINTS

 

Directions for string prints.  Sketch a face from your imagination in pencil on cardboard.  Put glue over lines that were sketched and then add string.  Let dry and then put printing ink or glue on the surface of the template and use like a big stamp.  Make sure to press down evenly on your template.

SEE YOU SOON!!!
