Art

Art!

Each quarter, a new section explores their artistic side. Mrs. Linse repeats the curriculum for each new section. Unfortunately for the website, I have a meeting every day during this time, so I cannot capture the students getting creative. On occasion, a student - or Mrs. Linse - will ask to borrow the camera to take pictures for me. Usually, however, everyone's involved in their projects - which is good!! Here's what we've got.

Quarter 1

Section 8-2 had the privilege of having Art first!

Masks!

One project early in the quarter is to make a cast-like mask of your face. Well, that's kind of tough to do, so a partner makes it on your face. My thanks to Jackie, Abi, and anyone else who took pictures!

Austin glances at the camera.

Mrs. Linse instructs the class on the procedures.

Tyler listens intently to Mrs. Linse.

Mrs. Linse shares a laugh with Tony as the bodies line up.

Abi enjoys her facial.

Amber & Haileigh work intently as Mrs. Linse checks Tyler's work.

The Mummy returns! Actually, it's just Jackie.

Austin fell asleep!

Jessica pauses for advice from Mrs. Linse.

Austin wraps Tony up.

Jessica is eager to get that thing off her face!

Jessica smiles on her way to wash up.

Haileigh closes her eye to the flash as Amber looks to clean herself up.

Kelly helps out Haileigh.

Macy is proud of her work on Janine.

Amber checks over her work on Chanise.

Mrs. Linse carefully rips the face -- I mean, mask, off of a student.

Mrs. Linse loves this art stuff!

Yes, Jackie, you will get a little messy with this project.

Alex doesn't look too happy.

Quarter 2

Section 8-3 enjoys Art during the Christmas season!

Clay Sculptures

Here's a project I didn't even know they did in Art: Clay Wizard Sculptures. All the credit for these pictures goes to Jaron; he took them on his camera, to donate to the website, all on his own. And, of course, Thank You to Mrs. Linse for allowing him to take the pictures!

Mrs. Linse gives some tips to Liz, who seems less than thrilled...

Andy takes the scalpel to his wizard.

Brenden gets in close for some sensitive detailing.

Justin tries to keeps his wizard a secret.

Kevin adds some clay to his wizard.

Seneca works on a hat to cover her wizard's bald head.

Marina closes her eyes and lets her creativity guide her hands.

Liz adds some detail around the hem of her wizard's cloak.

Stephanie works some clay into the right design before adding it to her wizard.

Mrs. Linse gives a few pointers for Adam's wizard.

Troy rolls out some clay.

Weston appears to be doffing his wizard's hat, but he could be adding detail, or trimming, or smoothing out the clay...

Troy adds some detail to the front of his wizard.

Adam sculpts a piece before adding it.

Stephanie's happy and proud of her wizard. "Course, she thinks he's magical...

A wizard!

A whole row of cool wizards!!! →

~~~ Masks! ~~~

I think Stephanie borrowed the camera, but she wasn't the only photographer. Thanks to all who took pictures!

Adam listens intently to the instructions.

Kevin lets known his feeling about smearing Vaseline on his face.

Andy razzes Weston about the Vaseline. Your turn is coming, Andy!!

Stephanie doesn't appear to enjoy this, either.

Adam prepares himself.

Kevin thinks he missed a spot.

Liz seems to have fun with anything!

Liz ain't havin' fun no more!

Told ya, Andy!

Um...a closed eyelid...???

Someone began preparing the wrong end for the mask...

Yes, sometimes Art gets your hands a little dirty. At least it doesn't harm you!

Jaron gets a makeover.

Jaron gets one, Joe's gonna get one, too!!.

O.K., I'm done trying to guess who these masked people are.

There's a reason criminals often wear masks! It works!!

Kevin gets that nasty old feeling just thinking about touching this stuff!

Paris, Justin, & Seneca work on their patients.

Mrs. Linse takes over on Weston, Laura works on Sasha, and Grant loses control of his creature.

Kevin gets his hands dirty, Troy works over Andy, and Stephanie wraps Nikki.

Paris works on Marina, Seneca on Liz, Adam on Weston, and Laura on Sasha.

Stephanie gives the photographer an odd glare.

It's like a mask factory.

Paris gets a better angle on Marina.

All right, Folks: That's a wrap!

Weston fell asleep!

Sasha feels like she's at the spa.

Stephanie makes a face at the photographer while Nikki waits patiently for this to be done!

Lotsa masks!!

Sasha decides she'd have rather spent the day at the spa! Time to clean up!

Joey's got a new look.

Adam's eyes are pasted shut!!

Stephanie smiles after her own ordeal. Not so bad, huh?

I think Nikki actually enjoyed this!!

Adam moves his books so Laura can clean up. Nice guy, huh??

"This is the best part!!"

Why don't these people clean up their science labs this thoroughly - and wearing smiles to boot?!?!?!?

Joey thinks real hard.

Quarter 3

~~~ Masks ~~~

Most of these people, well, I just can't recognize. So I'll identify who I can, when I can. Y'all probably recognize yourselves and each other anyway! Thank you, David, for borrowing the camera, and thanks to all who took pictures!

Carina!

Erika works on Carina.

Stephanie!

Zach gives a little attitude to the photographer.

Stephanie again!

Erika's still working on Carina!

I think Zach fell asleep!

Quarter 4

~~~ Masks ~~~

Most of these people, well, I just can't recognize. So I'll identify who I can, when I can. Y'all probably recognize yourselves and each other anyway! Thank you, Ryan, for borrowing the camera, and thanks to all who took pictures!
