Last week was a very exciting week for our seventh grade art students! We had a visiting artist work with the students to teach them about paper making.
Mrs. Ruth Vaughn worked with our students for two days, teaching them about the history & origins of paper and making hand made paper. In addition to each student being able to make their own paper, they were also all able to contribute to a large group paper painting. Traditionally we choose a masterpiece and the students recreate it using paper pulp. The students used blenders and recycled paper to make the pulp and basters as their brushes! Here is the finished work based on Vermeer's painting
Girl with the Pearl Earring...
