Students learned about Louise Nevelson's wooden assemblages. They created their own sculptures with upcycled wood scraps from our Ag and Shop classes. Key elements of Nevelson's work are rhythm through repetition of shapes and unity through color. Students had lots of fun working with 3D materials!

7th grade artists continue to work with applying value to forms.  For this project, students chose a piece of fruit.  They drew the fruit in 3 different stages, focusing on changing the fruit's shape with each stage.  Stage one was the whole fruit, stage 2 was the fruit partially eaten, and the last stage was the remainder of the fruit such as the peel of the banana, the core of the apple, or the peel of the clementine. It was a fun challenge for students to depict the same object as in transformed itself into a new shape.
