A thought for the day

A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image.-Anonymous

Print-making

In Ms. Sanderson's Art Explorers class, students work on a print-making project. First, they made sketches from pictures. Then, they picked their favorite sketch and copied it on to a piece of flat foam. After that, they carefully went over their lines with a sharp stick to make indentations over the pencil. When they finally rolled printing ink over the foam, the indented lines did not collect ink. This leaves the finished piece with a really cool effect! Pictures of the finished products will be up soon. Make sure to check back :)

A different perspective on art...

Sanderson's class works on perspective paintings.

"we had to use a horizon line and then we put a dot which is called a vanishing point. We also made trees and buildings that get smaller. It looks like it's going away into the distance."
