Computer Landscapes

These surreal compositions were created with Photoshop software.  I love the blend of all of the elements, these students did a fantastic job.

Computer Paintings

These 4 digital paintings were created in an introduction Adobe Photoshop class by 8th grade students.  All of our 8th graders are introduced to Photoshop and are able to use the software very creatively.

Relief Sculpture Pizza

This was a relief sculpture project that the 6th graders did a couple years back.  Each student created their own slice of pizza.  If you look closely, you will see their use of recycled materials.  The kids had a lot of fun making this.

Song Lyrics Project

This was inspired by the song Singin To The Sea which was composed by the artist herself.

This painting was created by a boy who was really inspired by one of Eddie Van Halen's CD covers, Both Worlds.  It was so interesting to watch him paint these panels.  Each one is about 18" x 12".  He layered paint, created stencils, and layered more paint.  It was very much about the process for him which can be more important than the product.

The song Teenage Dream by Katy Perry inspired this artist to create what she did.

Flower Mural

I just had to post this picture because I'm so proud of the project and we finally finished it this month.  My father and I were commissioned by the Wilton Library to paint another mural within their children's center.  It took us about 8 months of work to complete the painting.  The greatest part of the project was being able to do it with my dad...he is an amazing artist, and we were so lucky to be able to do something like this together.  The picture above is only a piece of the whole thing so you will have to go there to see the rest.

Cardboard Sculpture

My 8th graders work with cardboard while they are in my room.  Above are some examples of finished projects.  They love the recycled medium and discover there are so many different ways to manipulate cardboard.  Emphasis is on craftsmanship, creativity, & achieving texture.  Check out some of the links I have posted on the right of my blog to see some amazing cardboard sculptures done by professional artists.

Paper Snowflakes

These amazing snowflakes were created by a 13 year old artist.  She has an incredible patience level to cut such intricate designs.  Something to think about when you are making your own cut paper snowflakes; use thin paper, and try to cut away at least 50% of the paper with your designs.
