Art Club recently finished up. Students had the opportunity to work with various mediums, learn about different artists, and create their own masterpieces. Their work can be found hanging throughout the school.
Our first Art Club project, the watercolor salt resist, hangs in the hallway outside the gym between the restrooms. Art Club participants used masking tape to create trees and then painted over the page adding salt along the way. The salt had an interesting snow-like effect with the paint.
Our Dale Chihully style sculpture. Check out Chihully's work at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Though he works with glass, we colored in plastic bottles with permanent marker and then cut the bottles in a spiral fashion. Our sculpture can be found in the hallway connecting the school to the church.
Art Club students also learned a bit of Japanese history of the cherry blossom. They created their own version of cherry blossom art using the bottom of a two-liter bottle and stamping their "cherry blossom" onto a branch they had painted. Gerhardt and Eden (above) check out their stamps while Brylee (below) makes careful horizontal strokes on her tree branch.
Abby (above) and Jacob and Hubey (below) hard at work!
Emma and Madeline share their ideas with one another.
Zachary (above) and Jack (below) stamp carefully.
Micah fills his branch (above) while Brayden (below) stops to admire his work.
Colleen (above) tries a splattering look while Elaine (below) goes for a tiny blossom effect.
Samantha (above, standing) steps back to check her work. Some finished pieces (below).
Madeline, Eden, and Gerhardt roll their magazine pieces into colorful spiral cylinders and glue them to their cross. The effect is a colorful, three-dimensional design.
Brayden and Elaine (above) talk while they work. Emma (below) quietly concentrates.
Cayla, Colleen, and Samantha work on their crosses (above) while Eden, Gerhardt, and Brylee (below) try to get the right amount of spiral in their rolled up magazine pieces.
Students created a more colorful version of Vincent Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" by using pastels to draw a flower and then cutting it out and attaching it to the vase with all of their peers' works.
