Here is a sampling of some of those results from their projects.
Students finished up working on their Theme 2: Environment, Space, and Place art works this week. It was fun to see students work through ideas, media, and methods as they creating their individual pieces to demonstrate their understanding of the theme. Here is a sampling of some of those results from their projects. Nicole O. : These piece is showing how our cities are polluting the earth so the hand ripped it out of the earth to make the earth a better place. I choose to use sketching pencils and easers for my materials, I choose theses because I love to sketch and I thought I try it out for one of my projects. I used the different shades of the pencils to show different values in my drawing. I made the city have a little color in it with color pencils, to make the viewer really look at the city and how it was torn out of the earth. Also I made the hole in the earth a really dark value to exaggerate the hole. This was fun for me to make this sketch, and I'm really happy with the result. Allie M. : This piece of artwork I created has a lot of meaning once you think and look deeper into the picture. My concept for this piece was to have the Earth falling a part in the distance, as the world had come to an end. I did this because if we keep treating the earth the way we do, then it may actually occur, except the world would actually be gone. If you look closer at the picture, you can see many new forms of trash and items floating around that have come from the polluted earth. Some of the things floating around are what we use on a daily basis and throw out instead of recycling or taking care of it, such as news papers, bottles, trash, and more. Some of the things in the picture are what we don't think about, such as plastic trash bags and plastic water bottles. And finally, some of the components in this picture are not and what are what we use on a daily basis that continue to pollute our world, such as chemicals and cars. Others in the photo are household items, such as a dumpster, a bed, a house, and part of a backyard or field/forest, showing how humans will be affected. I used the cow in the picture to show how badly pollution and the Earths treatment is actually affecting the creatures, agriculture, and even people of the world. Pollution of our earth is an on going problem, I hoped to bring even more attention to it by creating this piece. Matt M. : I chose to use clay in this project for many reasons. When we were given the project of environment I thought that clay made the easiest way to show an environment. I also chose to use clay because I thought that it would be the most unique since most of the other examples we looked at were either paintings or drawings of some sort so I wanted to be different. Clay really showed what I was trying to accomplish pretty well. I wanted to have a piece of art that had something to do with trash since there is a lot of pollution now a days and making a clay trash can was pretty simple. I also chose to have a raccoon in the trash holding another piece of trash because I thought that that showed an environment pretty well. I want this piece of artwork to send a message to others. I hope that people take in to consideration that the world right now has too much pollution and this is not only affecting us, but animals and other organisms as well. I also hope that people make an effort to change this and take away some of the pollution in the world. Ethan B. : I selected the smudge tool to create this piece of artwork. I chose that because it made the work seem strange, blurred and confusing. I also used the filter tool to make the work appear different and colorful and catch peoples' eyes' as they pass by. During my work I accidentally used the blur tool and thought that I wrecked my project. Then I used that to my advantage and make it look surreal and different. This shows environment because it is a dream-like physiological landscape. Ella P. : My artwork that I have created is the view of the inside of my house to the outside of my backyard and to do that I used one point perspective to make it look like your looking into a house. Every day in the spring my sister and I would fill up the birdfeeder that hangs on a metal rail in our backyard by the trees, we would wait on the couch inside for the birds to come and eat. After a couple of days the birdfeeder would become empty and we would have to refill it again. When I was drawing I had to use lots of shading and texture to my piece, one thing that I gave a lot of detail to was the couch by doing cross hatching, well as the trees in the background with lots of shading. On the outside of my work you can see a bird and tree branches coming out if the corner and also grass along the edges of the paper, I did this because it brought the piece to life more and it also helped tie the whole artwork together making it feel outdoors. This artwork I call Backyard Birdy because it tells story about the birds and me on a nice spring day.
