Middle school students studied Mexican Amate bark paintings. The Amate paintings are rich in color and detail, and look like a visual party on a page. Each student chose a subject for their painting, and then began building borders, shapes, colors and details. You can take a look at all of the paintings in progress here and the finished paintings on Picasa as well.

Student Led Studio Sessions

-
What an awesome day in the Art room at CIPLC! Student Led Conferences were taking place  all across campus, and in the Art room students, parents, grandparents, aunts, and cousins came together  to create. Students in grades 1-6 taught their families one of the skills they had learned or practiced this year. Our grade six artists had their families try out blind contour drawing. Grade five artists were on hand to teach printmaking using styrofoam plates. Recycled paper making was a huge hit with our fourth grade  families and artists. Third grade artists brought Amedeo Modigliani's unique portrait style to life. Paper weaving was the domain of our second grade artists and families, and they  went  all out with  color and pattern. Our first grade artists demonstrated their sewing skills to their families.  The turnout was excellent and the art room was bustling all morning! I can't wait to see how our community continues to come together next year!...

The third grade has been hard at work using line and pattern to create eye twisting radial designs. Students looked at examples of radial designs found in nature.Then they plotted out points to create their own radial web. Students alternated descriptive words about themselves and patterns to complete the design. Check them out below and on PICASA!
