Then, we did pastel drawings of paintings by Wolf Kahn.

Art Museum Round 2

Today we went to the Springville Art Museum to find out why high schoolers are so good at art and to draw some landscape paintings with oil pastels.

Collage Landscape

Today we looked at great landscape paintings and re-created them as accurately as possible with color paper. It was very challenging. Then, Rebecca asked us to go to the library and check out a design/art book that we were drawn to.

Graphic Novels

Today we looked at graphic novels and did a review of them. The reviews involved us copying the style of the book. We also had time to work on our final project. 

With Rebecca, we read a poem about childhood and were introduced to our mindfulness practice on sound. 

Prototype Drawing

We worked on our big projects again today. With Rebecca, we smelled and ate diffierent kinds of food.

Big Project and Smelling Basil

With Rebecca, we read chapter six. We also smelled some spices and herbs to get us in the mood for the scent focus this week.
