Marbling: Round Two (AKA The Second Best Day Ever)

This semester, we were lucky enough to get the lovely and talented Ms. Molly Charest to visit us yet again. She took time out of her busy schedule, drove down from Portland, and taught a new group of students how to marble paper. If you're curious about the process, please refer to our previous marbling post, which you can find here. Otherwise, enjoy these awesome photographs.

Three Dimentional Art Projects

For our high school Introduction to 3D Art class, students were to create a three dimensional work of art of their choosing. This meant that we ended up with all kind of crazy cool art projects. Here are some of the best.

Book art! Paper castle made out of a book about castles!

Amazing Eiffel Tower made out of perfectly cut and glued dowels.

This student worked endlessly on this project. She was incredibly focused and dedicated.

Wire Portraits

Following a contour drawing project, and preceding a 3D wire project, students were to make wire portraits. They began by looking in a mirror and drawing their face using only one (contour) line. Later, they stapled wire to the contour pencil lines. This project familiarizes students with the medium of wire, and prepares them to think in 3D. And the results were quite good!

 



 

 

Not made from one line, but still an awesome portrait.

Again, not made from one line, but still very effective.
