BRMS currently has work on display in the Board of Education meeting room #1 and the Pittsford Public Library for the month of December. Here is what we have been up to in class!
Above are expressive line mixed media projects. First the students used black acrylic paint and experimented with different types of line. Students learned about color theory and then added oil pastel into the negative spaces of their paintings.
For our first project, students created contour line drawings of their classmates. Some contour line drawings were done "blind" meaning they only looked at their subject and not their paper.
Our latest project is based on the elements of art: color & form. Students were asked to create a relief or in-the-round paper sculpture. They started by creating multi-color painted papers, using different tools and brushes to create texture. They then used foam core, hot glue, knives and in some cases, wire to turn their 2-d papers into a 3-d form!
