All Art Classes - Art One, Art Two and Ceramics

See your progress below.  Our project began with some simple lines and then turned into something beautiful.  See how your part fits into the whole.  What other section do you like? 

Outdoor beauty - Due Friday April 24 - Art 1, Art 2 and Ceramics

Although we are all in quarantine, there is much to be thankful for!!!  It is a week after Easter, He is Risen and spring is all around us.  There is beauty in this challenging time.  You just have to open your eyes and look.

Go outside and find something beautiful.  Really, really look at it.  Using 3 complete sentences, describe it here.  Do not use the word nice, beautiful, lovely or pretty.  Be descriptive!!!  Below is what I saw and my written example.

There are small, snow white flowers in my front yard.  The little petals are round and have specks of yellow, while the leaves are pointed which is an interesting contrast in shape.  I didn't notice this at first, but when I looked closely, there are tiny buds which will produce more icy blooms later in the season.  The neutral color of the pine straw and leaves provide a backdrop for the bright, clean green and sparkling white.

I hope you and your family had a Happy Easter!
You will be working on your mail art piece this week.  Read the directions carefully and put it in your mailbox to go out by Friday.
Below is another example.  Mrs. Simmons completed this for us.  The first image is what I sent her, and the second is what she did with the same instructions that I sent you all.  Have fun with it!
Look also at the examples from the last blog for more ideas.

All Art Classes (Art 1, Art 2 and Ceramics) - Mail Art

Mail art (also known as postal art and correspondence art) is a populist artistic movement centered on sending small scale works through the postal service. It initially developed out of the Fluxus movement in the 1950s and 60s, though it has since developed into a global movement that continues to the present.

We will be creating our own mail art pieces.  I have mailed you instructions with some examples but see these below.  What are your thoughts about this process?
