Advanced Studio Art is an elective class for 7th and 8th graders. These paper cuttings were inspired by artist Nikki McClure. Students were challenged to think about negative and positive space and how to remove the negative space while still maintaining the stability of the piece. Look at these images and imagine every colored part is a piece of black that was cut out. Behind the black "web" is a colored paper. The result is a high contrast art work that encourages students to think about the essential image and what feeling or mood it evokes. The word that was added was intended to add meaning and emphasis. Students did a great job gaining expertise with the xacto blades and I am very proud of their results.
For the last few weeks students in Ms. Ruzzier's Ceramic class worked on creating Ceramic Foods. (We have Ceramic class before lunch several days a week and it was hard not to get too hungry as these delightful pieces were being made!)
