Hello from the Art Room! I like to have a culminating show at the end of the year in which students share their favorite works from the year. In year's past this has dovetailed nicely with the Harwood Artist's open studio events. As there was no such event this...
Hard work is child’s play
Studio Gallery
“Zoom Classroom” – Sr. Elementary A
Sr. Elementary-A expresses what it’s like learning in the Zoom Classroom in a comedic song.
Perspective Lessons
For our first experiments in drawing with linear perspective students drew a road, a river or train tracks disappearing out into the distance in front of them. I encouraged students to imagine what kind of plants, animals, and colors they saw in the world in front of them!
Sr. Elementary B – News Hour Comedy Show
Sr. Elementary B created a News Hour Comedy sketch with multiple featured stories about a mysterious sinkhole, fashion tips, a French food critic, a weather report and much more! Enjoy!
Be Part of the Harwood Community Project
The Harwood’s annual community art collaboration is a fun and easy project called “Safety Net.” Everyone is invited to participate using whatever materials are available at home. This project is suitable for people of all ages and abilities.
Jr. Elementary Videos (Fall 2020)
The students of Jr. Elementary East and Jr. Elementary West created several short video projects throughout the semester. Please enjoy watching Alyona, Ione, Thomas, Wynn, Benji & Reed share their videos with you!
Sr. Elementary B – Hot Chocolate Chugging Contest
Sr. Elementary B wrote, developed and produced a puppet comedy sketch about a Hot Chocolate Chugging Contest. The students created many memorable characters like Dirk Dinkum, Mr. K and Mr. Bear!
Alebrijes in Art
This semester in art we worked on learning to recognize underlying shapes and forms in nature and photographic images. Using this skill, students created their own “alebrijes” combining parts of animals into their own unique creatures. In West, students even opted to make their alebrijes into sculptures, and we worked on building the creatures out of recycled materials, paper mache, and painting!
Community Altar and Portraits!
In October, students learned about drawing people and facial expressions. Then, they were invited to create portraits for the First Annual Community Altar!
