Fifth Grade Stencils!



Inspired by Seattle artist Greg Boudreaux’s photo booth themed black and white portraits, the fifth grade students made these intriguing portraits using a complex stencil technique. After the students chose which photos they wanted to render, each student used an x-acto knife to carefully cut out the layers which had been composed in Adobe Photoshop. Once the students were finished cutting all fifty layers for this project, Ms. Leggitt carefully lined them up and used spray paint to make the images come to life!


Bird Bowls and Plates





The eighth grade students had a wonderful time glazing these ceramic pieces and carefully applying a black topcoat to create these intricate designs which were inspired by traditional Mehndi patterns from India!
