Ryan -Fired Totem Animals

Students were asked to include a 'family object' on their totem. This family object should have meaning in the family. This student included candy balanced on their animal's nose!
Very soon we will be glazing our animals! Here's what they look like prior to the glaze.They are now in their bisqueware state. They are hard and strong. But they are still porous. 
Their expressions are great! Here we have a deer!
And finally a pelican :) These are going to look so amazing painted! 

Art 6 Georgia O'Keefe Drawings

We have moved on to our (LAST) project of the semester.
A quick study on Georgia O'Keefe!
Here we are drawing from life- looking at skulls and flowers.
These drawings will be transformed into a an oil pastel drawing!

What a nice, quiet focused way to head into the holiday break!
