Self portrait enlargement

This is a self portrait done by a 9th grader. He was so proud of it when it was finished. When his mom saw it, she started screaming with excitement because she couldn't believe he did this. She was already picking the place on the wall she was going to hang it.

Reactions like this, remind me why
I love to teach art.

Patterned Spirals

Students used oil pastels to create lines, patterns, and designs. Students also experimented with blending colors together. The glitter is a nice touch to this project. Even the ones that were quite messy looked good after glitter was applied.

Some close up pictures will soon follow.
