Art Educator
For our first week, students investigated perspectives and personal points of view through creating an assemblage of images and multimedia together.
We considered the traditional methods of perspective with art (depth, space, etc.) and applied our personal lens to distort or exaggerate for the intended meaning.

Week Three
Going Candid
Sometimes actions speak louder than words.
This week, we analyzed how impactful movies and stories can be when they show relationships more than tell. Students were encouraged to depict the relationship dynamics in their life by depicting candid or abstracted moments.

Comic Drawing
Using an online format called Storyboard That, students expanded on character relationships from the previous week by creating original comics.
Students learned about Roy Lichtenstein, Manga comic artist Osamu Tezuka, and Keith Harring.
Student Examples:
Students this week analyzed how text in media and images can help implement an overall meaning. From referencing Barbara Kruger, Black Lives Matter Murals, and Mel Bochner, students addressed current issues they are passionate about with words and images to create artworks that implemented a message.
Week Six
Monumental
Sculptures
Students created Papier-Mache or online Tinkercad sculptures to create monuments that serve to represent their personal history and connection with the world around them.
