This school year has flown by! I am honored to have been able to teach high school art and have students realize success in their art making! I learned a lot this year about being a teacher, and have found a career I love.

Here are my top three art projects from this school year!

Tunnel Books
Concept: Alter Ego

Students brainstormed their personal alter ego and brought him/her to life in this project. The books create the illusion of space using layers of foreground, middle ground and background.




Dreaming up Perspective
Concept: Fantasy

Students learned the basics of one and two point perspective as they rendered the illusion of three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface.

 



Sculpture
Concept: Pop Culture

Students researched pop culture icons from the past and present before selecting one to recreate as a three-dimensional sculpture. Inspired by Claes Oldenburg, students used visual culture as the inspiration for this project.
