February 26, 2009

Streams of colored india ink, watercolor, and tempera littered the tables of the art room this afternoon as students began their last piece, the Profile Project. Actually, Ms. Sapelly allowed them to trace either their facial profiles, or their shoes (or both).

As usual, Ms. Sapelly set up some guidelines, but once she showed her examples, the creative juices flew...about a year ago, she experimented with ink washes, acrylic, and acrylic mediums and textures. The students loved the pieces, and rather than simply cut out and use her colorful watercolor papers, they opted to make their own!

Violets, pinks, blacks...ink everywhere...others did use Ms. Sapelly's 'samples,' and made beautiful sihlouttes with their own painted backgrounds....

A fast furious fun and intense class...
