may 6tiles and technique

Today was a fun, busy day. One class at a time came to the art room to work with Mr. Birch. Each student used a yellow glaze to highlight selected areas of the tile. We used a dry brush and dabbing technique.
We thank the parents who helped, Mr. Birch for all his work, and the staff of EKES for their cooperation in this project. The pieces will be shown on June 10th with the dedication of our solar panels,and installed in the school that afternoon.

1Z makes art papers

Today we painted art papers to use next week in our art. The colors were inspired by the art by Rachel Isadora in "The Ugly Duckling" .

My Hat
When I dive into my hat, I see...a sketch of me. I am wearing a black hat a park ranger would wear. I am  standing in a valley with overlapping hills, and the sun between. The sun is setting. I am wearing a black leather jacket, nice shoes, and a huge smile.
I thought hats were fun because there's all sorts of hats. At first, I wanted to do one of those hats with a propeller on top of it, then a baseball cap, then a visor. But then I remembered I like these hats. So I settled on it.

These are some of the hats done by 3S. We talked about head and eye shape as well as using an horizon line.
