Scott 6th Grade Center's Motto- "We Enter to Learn and Leave to Achieve"
What Has Been Happening in Mr. Handerhan's Classes?
Mr. Handerhan’s art classes are learning how to create depth in two-dimensional work. Each student is responsible for creating three individual watercolor paintings and are challenged to produce the pieces using three separate techniques. The classes are still developing the paintings but have just finished their backgrounds that will then have foregrounds applied over top of them in the coming weeks. The objective is to teach his classes how overlapping and applying layering can create depth in a painting.
The first painting utilized a stippling technique where students applied the paint by tapping their brush to create a tie dye look. They then executed two more paintings using blending and layering techniques to create some interesting sky backgrounds. We’re excited to see the finished pieces!
