SEARCHING for MEANING...

Looking for Meaning in Art? Good! because that's the goal of our semester. As we explore the art elements and various art media, we will be making deeper connections to a Big Idea. Some of the Big Ideas we will delve into will be: SYMBOLS, POWER, PLACE, IDENTITY.

We may examine more Big Ideas than this, or we may just wallow in each of these until we are saturated with all the contents of their possibilities.

Get ready to dive in!!!

Intro to Art Currently

Current Unit: Heroes


Current Project: Calaveras Hero Relief Portraits

Project Description: You will create a portrait painting with elements of relief & 2-D depth that honors a personal hero.

The face will be constructed from a papier mache mask and attached to a flat surface. The surrounding flat surface will provide a painted scene with a foreground, middle ground, and background for your hero (the mask). You should use what you know about creating the illusion of depth on a flat surface to enhance the feeling of space around the figure.


DUE: November 2nd









Past Projects: Street Art Symbolic Artwork
