I’m trying to catch up on student art posts. But THESE? Loved this skill builder! Can you SPOT the painting?? My own example is first and the student work follows. Some students did even better color matching than me! #highschoolartteacher #highschoolart #painting #studentart #colormixing #colormatching #skillbuilder #acrylicpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CppueiarU0y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Drawing 2 and 3 Honors faced a big endeavor. Creating a “painting” on a non-traditional surface. They were given complete creative freedom and it was a self-graded project. Here are just a few of the finished projects. 💕 love love love where their minds and efforts take them! #highschoolartteacher #highschoolart #nontraditionalpainting #mixedmedia #painting #studentart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpfg45WrwAP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A couple of students pieces from this past firing. As you can see side eye rabbit is still judging everything. The students have been killing it and I couldn’t be prouder of this group. #clay #highschoolceramics #highschoolart #pottery #ceramics #art #artteacher https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpd49Z9Lm7s/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Let’s end the weekend with some scenes from ceramics class. First up we have a working hinged box. And yea for those in the know it is a mimic and has 250 hit points according to the maker. Then we have the most judgemental bunny ever. It even gives side eye, like the coldest side eye ever. And that is how we how we roll in ceramics class. #clay #highschoolart #ceramics #pottery #bunny #mimic #d&d #dungeonsanddragons #rabbit #judgey #sideeye @froggy_bum https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIX4MmLntN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today was the NAHS All Star Challenge at the Mississippi Museum of Art. The only challenge to it was getting 14 teenagers on a bus at 6 am. I am proud to say that we accomplished the feat and were rewarded with a fun trip filled with art, workshops, laughter and snacks. Now if you will all excuse me I’m going to crash for a few days as these past two weeks have been wall to wall and I need sleep. #art #artteacher #nahs #highschoolart #artclub #mississippiart #mississippimuseumofart (at Mississippi Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co0vPvOLeHL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
