Your 2011 Newimals!

Second project for our Computer Crt class. You take one animal part here and mix it with another animal part there and sooner or later you have a Newimal.

Day One Computer Art

Day one computer art project; The Clone.

I gave them cameras day one and sent them out to take photos. Then on their return to class, they had to combine all the photos into one. Just look and it will all come together :)

Back by Popular Demand.. Hands!

First came the contour line drawing. You know, the obligatory contour line drawing of a hand that every art teacher has every art student draw.. because it's the law... and i didn't want to be arrested.



Next, as a sketchbook assignment, I asked each student to turn their contour hand drawing into an animal.




Then, I wasn't going to have them paint their hands but someone in class stalked the FaceBook site and saw we painted hands last year so....

Cassette Art

We created line drawings using old technology.. in this case cassette tapes.



We started out by creating line drawings in our sketchbooks.








We then transferred the sketches to illustration board.



We used white glue to hold down the tape and toothpicks to spread the glue.



A surprising number of our artists had never seen cassette tape before.



They didn't really understand how to get the tape out of the cassette.
