Art Pieces Term 2 2009

Another great term of art at Logan Artists. B7 really has come along way with his clay sculpture and has learnt so many techniques. Even trying his hand at the Pottery Wheel this time round.

He still has a bit of finishing off to do here. The abstract painting requires a bit more work as do a few of his sculptures. Once they get some colour on them they will come to life.

We are taking a break from these art classes for a term or so, even though we love them. We'll spend some time getting back into our Artistic Pursuits art program at home.

Art Classes - Week 2, Term 2 - Slab Cylinders

This week B7 had to revisit the use of slab work with clay and create a slab cylinder. Last term he made a slab trinket box so he had some prior knowledge.

After deciding to embellish his cylinder with a snake he realised that it kind of looked like a tree trunk, so that's what he transformed it into. We can't wait to see this one fired and painted up, I think it is his best piece yet.

The finished pieces waiting to be fired. B7's is going to make a great paint brush holder, ready for our new painting area that I have in mind. Thankfully he has agreed, he initially was going to use it to hold his pencils but we now feel that it may be a little deep for pencils so paint brushes it is.
