December 4, 2010- Ordinary to Extraordinary Sculpture with 100 items!

This week we will be building sculptures made from 100 everyday (relatively small) items. Students will need to bring in to class 100 items to work with. Students should view the power point posted for ideas of items, and to begin planning on how to work with that material as well as possible imagery that can be created using this item. In class we will provide some adhesion techniques and materials (however if a student comes up with a way to attach materials that is somewhat unconventional, they should consider bringing materials to help with these attachments), as well as some construction methods and materials. We will not have 100 items for students to pick from to use so..... COME PREPARED! ;) See you all Saturday!

Artist Seminar with Ms. Laverne Miers-Bond

Blindfolds, sticks, and beeswax....hmmmm. Ms. Miers-Bond showed us some expressive drawing techniques - such as drawing with an extended paintbrush, drawing based on touch only (hence the blindfold), drawing based on the touch of a partner, and a really cool method of treating paper with beeswax.
