Radio Silence!

We have been SO busy making awesome art in the art room at Lake County High School that we haven't posted here in 2 whole months! Have no fear, folks, lots and lots of amazing artwork is being created! Let's play catch up....

7^th and 8^th grade students were led through a meditation where they focused on their breath and explored clay, creating pinch pots. When they finished, students reflected back on the process and the connection between their breath and the clay in their hands.

The next stop on the Creative Clay Train for 7th and 8th graders was making pinch pot animals! Here are a few, but you'll have to come to the Spring Art Show on April 29th to see them in all their glazed glory!

9th - 12th grade Lake County High School art students have been working hard, and have created some REALLY powerful pieces.

AnnMarie Duel "Stoic"

Aryha's watercolor painting was inspired by a Rumi poem (both above).

Amber's inspiration for her watercolor painting was a quote from Banjo Paterson. AMBER IS IN 8TH GRADE!

Xavier Gowin's self portrait, titled "A Weight Lifted".

Perseverance and progress!

What is the absolute hardest thing that high school students will EVER do? Draw a self portrait! Basic Studio Art students are embracing perseverance, and sailing through the storm of "my forehead is SO BIG" and "is my head really shaped like that?" Miss Farrow is perfecting her pep talks, and students are starting to (maybe, hopefully) understand the value of struggle through their Tribal Self Portrait process.

Advanced Students are working on artwork for the CMC Common Reader Art Contest. Their work will be displayed at the author talk on October 20th at 7pm at CMC. Here is a sneak peak, but make sure to come check out the final products!

Color! Collaboration! Clay!

As we embark on another exciting year of creativity, art students in grades k - 8 are working on their color theory skills!

Kindergarten though 2nd graders worked on some very colorful self portraits!

Color makes smiles!

Mrs. Anderson's 2nd grade students are slightly more adorable than Ms. Farrow's High Schoolers.

 Lake County's awesome art teachers each want a pair of these gloves! Hint, hint....

7th and 8th grade students learned about cubism and shading.

Miss Good's 6th graders are working on mountain scapes using warm and cool colors!  These are their rough drafts.

LCIS students have been busy working together to create art! In the project below, Miss Good's students painted a space on each piece of small paper and then passed them around until all the spaces were filled. The results are amazing!

 And at the High School Ms. Farrow is desperately trying to make sure her students don't have TOO much fun...

What is better than clay and sunshine?!

 

Mrs. Anderson, Miss Good and Ms. Farrow are so excited for another year of creative creations!
