Painting: Geometric / Organic Mandalas
Students created symmetrical work using mathematical principles and free form organic shapes. Student were asked to design their own flower shape/pattern using a variety of tools and mathematical skills.
Sculpture: Painted Clay Busts
Prior to the beginning of the project, the class discussed issues of symmetry and proportion, heirarchy and scale. The students did exercises in facial feature proportion. From these drawings, students did initial drawings of their figure. And after they completed the sculpture, each student did a rendering of their work, adding a body with costume. Students reflected on their work and wrote how they might improve it. Students were also given an opportunity to rework the project.
1.4 Analyze and describe how the composition of a work of art is affected by the use of a particular principle of design.
2.4 Review and refine observational drawing skills.
4.4 Articulate the process and rationale for refining and reworking one of their own works of art.

Painting: Wall Figures
Students worked on several skills that addressed the figure, its proportion, and gesture. This 6 week project started out with developing drawing skills, working with line and form, then moving on to understanding proportion, modeling, 2 tone color schemes, and how to translate smaller sketches and models into larger, life size figures.
2.4 Review and refine observational drawing skills.
2.5 Create an expressive composition, focusing on dominance and subordination. |

Relief Sculpture: Mask-Making
Students were asked to create a mask that uses several of the elements of art and addresses two or more of the priniciples of design.
They began this project by reviewing the elements of art and discussing how to represent the principles of design in a work of art. Student viewed examples of masks then discussed the role of the mask in different societies including our own. Students were asked to write about their own personality and create characters from their own imagination. Some chose an imaginative self portrait, others an alter ego.
2.1 Solve a visual arts problem that involves the effective use of the elements of art and the principles of design.
