News from the Art Department:
Mrs. Tese's Photo 1 students were involved in a "Fun Photo Day" where they were challenged to capture 3 stunning photographs that utilized water, staples, sprinkles and fun lighting. The students were paired up in groups and had to rotate through 3 stations to use their photography knowledge to capture a water droplet in mid air, shoot sprinkles stuck in a bead of water and create a beautiful cityscape with a box of staples. They were able to use the photo department's digital cameras as well as new equipment that included lighting and colored light gels. They produced some amazing images!
Our Visual Foundations babies are about to embark on the world of printmaking! They have carved "tattoo" designs that originated from their own initials into a soft cut block that they will proceed to print on cards to share and ultimately into a mixed media collage. They always enjoy using new materials and learning about printmaking as an artform.
