Journey On a Cloud , inspired by Marc Chagall

Daydreaming in art class is encouraged! We had a blast with level 9 and 10 outside in the beautiful sunny day, reading this fun book, learning about the artist Marc Chagall and looking at the clouds and their unusual shapes. Afterwards, we got back in our classroom to put all these daydreamed images on paper.
 

Name Sculpture

Students from Level 9 and 10 in art class are working on a cardboard sculpture, using the letters of their names as a structure. These young artists needed to make sure the sculpture is balanced and the letters are arranged in a way so it can stand on it's own.

Printmaking

There are 3 top printmaking methods: Relief, Intaglio ,Lithography. In each of these there is a vast of different "techniques". With Level 12 and 13 we explored the styrofoam printing technique. First step was creating sketches and designs inspired from Ancient Greece, and after they were happy with their designs, they transferred it on a Styrofoam using cutting tools. The last step was making the actual prints, which is always exciting since you never know how exactly your print will look in the end.

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:
