We’ve completed the first step of finishing our clay busts - adding a sienna stain. Our next step will be to paint in details with acrylic paints. Too bad we have to wait a whole week.

Jessica breathed new life into the world with this one - creating very memorable characters. I encouraged her to name them all and to start letting them appear in her future artworks.

The Georgia Performance Standard for this assignment was for students to recognize that lines can show rhythm and movement. I’d say Pierce has a strong understanding of that concept! What a beautiful sky - don’t you wish that you could lay on a blanket on top of one of her mountains?

Soren channeled his inner van Gogh and created this beautiful painting, titled Cross Stars. I love his expressive brushstrokes, his rich, moody colors and the dynamic composition.
