Exploded Value Project
Mr. Boccini's Studio Art classes have been working on a color unit. These projects explore the idea of "Value". Like Joseph Alber's Homage to the Square paintings they use size gradation and value changes to create an optical effect.
The students were free to choose any image that could be recognized as a silhouette. Each project required 10 value changes. Some students opted to include the original image in their project.

1 & 2 Point Perspective!
In Miss Church's studio art class students have been exploring perspective. During the Renaissance (1450-1600) artists became interested in making two-dimensional artwork look three-dimensional. The Renaissance began in Italy and spread through Northern Europe.
Students learned how to create a barn in 1 point perspective. They were required to add a fence, texture, and shading techniques in their final art piece.
