Art is a class, where students have free access to creating their own art piece or song. This class is taught by Don Porcella.
Circus Piper Cleaner
The Pipe Cleaner Project is where students make their own circus out of pipe cleaners. They could make flowers,animals, acrobats and other things found in the circus. Students then showcase their pipe cleaner art piece on display at High Tech High Media Arts.
I was very creative in this project, and I learn quickly how to make certain things with pipe cleaners. It took me about three days to develop a skill with creating pipe cleaners, but I was able to understand the process and create two art pieces, a clown and lizard man. I thought it was the best project in Art class, and I was pleased with my work.
Nature Art Exhibit
For the Nature Project, students created an art piece that related to nature, and created an audio piece that was relevant to the art piece. The students then presented their nature art piece at the Balboa Art Exhibit
I thought this project was interesting, because I was able to create a wolf out of chicken wire and paper mache, and create my wolf sound with my voice. It took a lot of time and dedication, but I was able to push through and create an interesting art piece.
