Elements of Art

Students base their work on the Elements of Art as they would do as a professional artist.

Element of Line

• Students use line to create movement and form.

Element of Shape

• Shapes are used to create images. Here they use shape as positive and negative space.

Element of Form

• Students create form in a variety of ways. Here they use clay to make a three dimensional mask.

Media

• Students at WHES use a wide variety of media to create their artwork.

Crayon Resist

• Crayon Resist uses crayons for texture and then water color paint is used to add a layer of color

ClayThe entire school will

enjoy the clay project we will create now that we have a kiln. A slab roller will be a nice addition to our clay program.

Colored Pencil

• We use a variety of tools in the art room to create our masterpieces. Colored pencil is one of them.

Cut Paper

• Shapes are cut from paper to form different types of line from zigzag to curves.

Right Now in Art Class

• Students are creating unique masks through hand build techniques.

• Here a student has taken a slab of clay and is beginning to design her project.
