Giacometti inspired sculpture




These sculptures were made with wire, tinfoil and masking tape. They are sitting on a clay base then painted with a "hammered metal" spray paint. Students had a lot of fun with these!

Low Relief with Paper








This was a project I did with my 8th grade sculpture class.  The idea was to introduce sculpture going from 2D(flat paper) to a 3D sculpture.

Chuck Close Inspired art!



 7th Grade Chuck Close Portraits. I found this idea from a wonderful website. Frecklephoto.com My students used black tempra paint for the portrait and chose between water color and oil pastels for the background.



1pt perspective. My students had a lot of fun with this one! Water color on paper.
