7th & 8th Grade Art
In art, students have been working on metal relief sculptures. This is about a month-long lesson where students design patterns and textures in aluminium sheets of metal. After their design is completed, students work on the relief "stretching" or "raising up" of the metal. This part is fun, yet challenging for the students. 7th grade students create a non-objective design only using shapes and patterns, while 8th grade students are working on larger sheets of metal and designed their name (first or last) or their family company/logo into the metal. The last step in this lesson will include painting over the metal and then buffing it out to show a dark black contrast against the shiny metal. This lesson is one that students and I both look forward to every year. Enjoy the pictures of our talented Hanford Christian students and their God given creativity shining in this fun and unique art lesson.
