ISLAMIC COLOR WHEEL MURALPMHS COMMUNITY
PMHS Community collaborated in painting a repeating pattern based on Islamic geometric design. The design was colored utilizing color wheel theory and hung in a school stairway. Sculptural spherePRINCIPLES OF ART
Students will create a collaborative dodecahedron star sculpture to hang in the school. Each student will design a 5 sided star point in a theme, style and media of choice. |
TORN PAPER COLLAGE
PRINCIPLES OF ART
Students will look for grayscale values in a photograph then select matching values from a limited palette of pre-painted grays on paper-Students will view areas of the photograph in terms of shapes, forms and planes rather than line and color-Students will use collage as an impressionistic painting medium.

ENDANGERED ANIMAL COLLAGES
ART 7
How can art be utilized to understand the many reasons for endangered species? This project was inspired by a series of silkscreened endangered animal portraits by the pop artist Andy Warhol. The project began with students being shown Warhol’s work and reading about the Red List, a world- wide survey of the status of animal populations. Students picked an animal to develop as a colorful collage and do research on for a short report.

ARCHITECTURAL RELIEF MURAL
CERAMICS
How can students collaborate on a ceramic project that combines art skills with elements of history and world cultures? Student work began by researching and identifying architectural styles throughout time and across the globe. They then created 3 low- level relief ceramic tiles that visually respond to the different styles. The students worked cooperatively to design and combine each individual tile to create one large wall unit to be installed outside the world cultures classroom at Pittsfield Middle High School

ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE
PRINCIPLES OF ART
How does perspective drawing create the illusion of space? Students were introduced to the art concepts of horizon line, vanishing point and orthogonal lines in creating their three dimensional spaces. Principles of Art students worked on city scenes while Painting and drawing students created “wide angle” letters in 3 and 4 point perspective.

PERSONALIZED COLOR WHEELS
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
How can creating a color wheel aid in helping artists understand the relationships that all colors have with each other? This project developed by a desire to include more personnel expression into a traditional color wheel project. Color Theory is an important part of the curriculum in Principles of Art and Design. Students choose a personal element or symbol and made a stencil of it. The stencil was utilized to design a color wheel illustrating the 12 basic hues: 3 primary, 3 secondary and 6 tertiary

2D-3D REALISM TO ABSTRACTION
PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN
What are the design differences between the two-dimensional picture plane and a three- dimensional artwork utilizing volume, space, and structure.
Many of the problems that art students have with three-dimensional design courses can be traced to their having never grasped the basic differences in conceptual orientation between 2-D and 3-D experience. The idea of this project is to provide a bridge between the relatively familiar territory of the flat picture plane to the "new" territory of the third dimension.Utilizing white foam core students will translate drawings into 3 dimensional relief sculptures. Students are asked to think of three levels of height for the sculptures similar to topographic mapping. The sculptures can utilize additions to the material or subtractions to make the forms more interesting. The three final relief sculptures will be pinned together on a larger area for presentation.

Zentangle Map of Creative People of the United
MIDDLE SCHOOL ART
How can utilizing zentangle drawing,( a drawing method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns) help students to learn content in another discipline such as Geography of the U.S.? Students each illustrated a state and then researched different creative people from their state to create a map of creative people! |
