Creating Art For an Art Auction

Photography-Tiny People Project

Inspired from the London-based photography street artist, Sincachu, in art class students created their own tiny people photography project. After getting introduced to his street installations, students got creative and made their unique settings for the photos. In terms of photography, they were encouraged to experiment with manual focus and change the object of interest  in different photos. The result is really amazing! Look at the student's photographs and  you'll be impressed.

And here are few photographs from the same project but different students of few years ago: 

Blind contour line drawing

Middle school students had so much fun drawing each other without looking the paper, which was hard to resist :)
Blind contour line drawing is a great drawing exercise  with many benefits for the students. It helps improve hand-eye coordination, observation skills, focus and coordination. Students perceived this lesson  like a game, they had so much laugh during class but at the same time had a great deal of learning and created really cool ink/watercolor pictures.

Brown Paper Bags Owls

Students from Level 6 learned about symmetry, and while learning about this Principle of Design, they created an owl using collage paper and brown paper bag. 

They were so excited!

T-Shirt Design Proposals

The past several weeks, the PSG has been organizing a QSI t-shirt design contest.

All students participated and designed a shirt that they felt represented QSI.  When the students were done, then each class chose their favorite to participate in the final selection. 

Congratulations to Claire, Ilia, Addy, Cansel, Nora, Matteo, Eli, Ioanna, and Karoline!

The finalist was chosen by a representative from each level, two staff members, two parents, and Mr. Nelis. 

and, the winner is ….Nora Thurman!  Congratulations!

At the Fall Festival next Saturday we will have a limited quantity of the shirts for sale!! We will continue to sale the shirts throughout QSI and PSG events during this school year.
