a group project



Students were given a section of a contour drawing of a famous painting. Responding to just the lines on the section, the students composed a colorful image. When all the sections were complete, students puzzled the pieces together to reveal the famous painting. Fun!

art reel


What a beautiful theater.

water fountains!



Foil is great.

Mannequins





Students made mannequins from clay and wire. They painted backdrops for their creations, posed the mannequins, and then photographed the scene. Amazing!

straw sculptures




We began with building a cube out of straws and took off from there. Great structures!
