New Link to the 2010-11 School Year Art Web Pages!!!

Hello everyone, I am in the process of transferring my Art Web Site to a different server. R.S.U. #57 will not be hosting the site anymore. The will shut it down on August 15, 2011. Please access my site through my blog .

I just retired after 35 years of teaching Art and I still want my former students and anyone else the opportunity to look at the site.

I plan to archive  all  my pages from the year 2000. They range from SPORTS,  MUSIC , DRAMA  SCHOOL LIFE and of course ART.

I’ll keep you posted as I upload them to my new host.

To my Sophomore and Juniors Pottery students: I truly enjoyed my time with you. You created some great pottery and I wanted to feature your body of work in your own personal web page. Enjoy and I’ll miss you. You can always get in contact with me through this blog. Have a great summer.

My 6 th grade students learned about 1 Point or Linear perspective. They created a room or city with a main focus  to showcase their new drawing skills.One of our fun final activity my students learned about macramé. They learned how to make square knots , create patterns and how important it was to have  the right  tension. They made necklaces, anklets or bracelets

I created a page for each of my pottery seniors. They were introduced to the pottery wheel and one of their assignment was to create a tea set with a theme “Some of the Greatest Fairy Tales Ever Told!” using any building technique they learned in Pottery 1

I would like  to thank the Gallery on the Green for  giving Massabesic Students this opportunity to exhibit their work in a professional setting. The evening was wonderful. My students were so happy to show friends and family their work; they also had a chance to meet the 3 Artists from the Gallery: Roger Deering Jr. , Susan Mesick, Ann Marie Therrien. They each received art supplies and a certificate.  The Expo 2011 is  on display until Saturday April 23, 2011. The Gallery is closed on Easter Sunday . Mr. Minelly’s son Peter, the owner of the Gallery, came up with the idea of the Expo 2011 for one of his High School business course. Great idea.

If you are in Alfred Maine,  stop in and check out  the Gallery. Go to their website to see their hours and the featured Artists.

In this painting unit 6th grade students learned about drawing a face using proportion as a measuring tool. They also reviewed the color wheel and identified 6 different color schemes. When they started painting, they had to choose their schemes from: cool, warm, complementary, split complementary, monochromatic and analogous colors. They did a lot of mixing with tones to make their painting more interesting. They learned a lot about colors. And most of all that PAINTING IS FUN!

My students just finished their first asssignment. You can view their “Dropped Pattern” designs and a few pictures of them at work. We are just starting a Painting  using different color schemes and a portrait drawing  in proportion. Check back soon to see our “Art Show” on line!

This is the work of my 2nd Trimester Pottery 1 students.
They are basically grouped by students.
Students learned the 3 basic hand building techniques: coil, pinch and slab.
They also experimented with different ways of decorating their work. Enjoy the Art Show!
