Drawing students focused on line drawing and used continuous contour lines to create multiple portraits. Students used watercolor and colored pencil to create the backgrounds.

October was time for the return of the ever popular Inktober! Each week my students used pen and ink to create two drawings from the prompt list. The students love creating these small, fun drawings.
Students started off the school year by creating two diamonds with cool and warm colors. We then put them all together to create this beautiful gradient design.
It's that time of year again! Honors Art Students paint a still life of candy! Instead of eating all that Halloween candy, we use it to create interesting and dynamic still lifes! We can always eat it after we paint it!
In honor of the upcoming Halloween weekend, Art Studio learned about the Surrealist artists and the game "Exquisite Corpse"! This collaborative drawing game has students draw one part of a body (starting with the head) and then passing the paper to the next student to draw the torso and then the legs! Each student cannot see what was done before! Fantastic and silly creatures emerge and get our creativity and imagination flowing!
During the 2020-21 school year, we had to adjust to seeing each other in masks. Many students told me they didn't even know what their teachers looked like under the mask. In order to acknowledge this new way of seeing each other, students drew a portrait of a teacher with the mask and then used a reference photo to draw an image without the mask.
Beginning Art students illustrated the elements and principles of art using the same design in a small accordian fold booklet.
It has been a challenging two years for so many of us. Students were asked to think of something they were hopeful for, and to create an image based on that. Students also could write the word HOPE and decorate it in a design of their choice. Each student created their drawing on an individual leaf. When we put them all together it became our "Tree of Hope".
Art Studio students focused on postive and negative space relationships to create a Notan design. Notan is a Japanese design concept involving the play and placement of dark and light.
MHS is participating in Inktober! Using the word prompts provided by artist Jake Parker, we are creating ink drawings throughout the month of October!
