Collage

We've been experimenting with collage in Art I.

Students created either "Dream-World Collages" or "Self-Expression Collages",

and the results were quite creative. 

Block I:

Dream World: "Odd future"

Dream World: Kids as Cookie Monsters 

Dream World: A little city in the grass

Block II:

Self-Expression Collage 

Self-Expression Collage

Dream World: Lava-Hot Sandwich

What's in your Head?

These days in Art I, 

we're learning how to express ourselves, visually.

As a personal expression project, 

we filled our silhouettes with images that reflected our identities.

We're all so unique. 

Just take a look!

Block II: 

Art Inspiration: Frida Kahlo

Art I students, 

this week we will get to know the Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo. 

As we work on our "Art Identification" assignment for Frida,

 this interactive website will be a great resource.
