Alien Eggs

Probably the cooliest lesson plan I invented, really. Everyone started by brainstorming what different aliens might breathe, eat, and what exactly planet would look like.  Next we brainstormed sketched based around our unique planets.

 

 

 

 

 

Color Theory

What makes a painting unified? You could say the shapes, or maybe the over all movement, but put in a color scheme and everything begins to work together. Students studied individual color schemes, next taught their color scheme to the whole class, and learned that artist don't randomly choose colors for their paintings.

 

After studying color schemes everyone created a collage with their favorite color scheme in mind. But wait, that's not it! They then had to transfer their collage onto canvas and do the difficult task of color mixing, matching, and the struggle of simulating textures.

Coil Building Ceramics

Coil Building, looks easy. Wrong. A lot of problem solving, starting over, and fine tuning takes place in the ceramics class. Although students were frustrated at times, they pulled through with a better understanding of building with coils and in the end some pretty amazing pieces.
