Drawing The Figure

Students in the drawing class are studying proportion, scale, mass, volume and value as it relates to the figure. The students started studying the figure by looking at basic shapes that make up the figure then they moved into gesture drawing and finally complete studies of the figure. Here are a few of their pieces.

Oh The Places We Will Go!

 Ms. Rossi's Drawing class used the theme "Oh the Places We Will Go!" to develop a pen and ink drawing. Students were introduced to different pen and ink techniques along with techniques in the application of markers and watercolors. Students were encouraged to incorporate what they learned in a final composition that represents this theme. They had fun using color and black and white media. 

New ideas but for now... Summer!

Back in March, Mr Sands had the opportunity to meet with many outstanding art educators at 2013 NAEA National Convention in Fort Worth. The exchange of ideas was fantastic and it really got us thinking ahead for the 2013-14 school year.

From those talks, our crack team of educators here at Apex HS developed a new set of goals. We will spend the summer devising a new approach to teaching and learning art. In fact, you can tell we already started. Just look at the board!

So go to the pool, sit back in your lounge chair and soak up the sun. Be well rested. You're gonna need it!

Till then... Have a Great Summer!!
