Ms. Appiah's Class Penguins!

On the way to 3rd floor to Ndebele, you will pass our Penguins from Antartica. Ms. Appiah's class had made the penguin eggs out of paper mache.  The baby penguins are stuffed animals.  The giant penguins are made with bulletin board paper and our iceberg is boxes and bulletin board paper.

Mark's art skills go beyond drawing. I LOVE this collage!

No name! I think this one would be even cooler if the grapes were part of his beard. You might of noticed...the food clippings were very popular.

Another no-name :-( But I love the lightning behind the ice cream and the butterfly used as the bust.

Again, no name. I usually toss no-names, but those raspberry earrings and the armor used for the body! Too cute.

Fangs and using animal mouths was also a very popular motif.

Op Art, did we trick your eye?

Optical Art, known as OP art, is art that tricks the eye. Does our artwork look like it is moving? Does it look 3-D? Tricking the eye is not an easy task, so some students just made an awesome looking design using curved lines! That is fine with me, what matters most to me, is that YOU are happy with your completed project. Your artwork demonstrates your style and work ethic in all aspects of life, not just art class. I was sad to see students give up so easily with this project, but happy to see those who did above and beyond what I imagined! Thank you to everyone who tried their best :-)
