African Masks

Image
Students in Art 7 with Mrs. Cydrus began their 3D unit with clay African masks.     To start creating, students made a slump mold using newspaper and tape.  Their African mask was inspired by an animal or an emotion.  After being fired, students used acrylic paint to complete their masks.  Check them out! 

Creative Career Cubes

Image
Sycamore Junior High students in Mrs. Cydrus' Art 7 classes created cubes that are "mini billboards" for various creative careers.  Students watched videos, completed researched, discussed with small groups, and then chose a creative career that they were interested in. On each cube there is at least 2 images representing the career, a list of characteristics/qualities beneficial to that position, and necessary education and experience.  Students covered careers such as photographers, animators, art educators, industrial designers, architects and more.  Our boxes are in the Junior High media center on display for all Sycamore students to see what awesome creative careers are possible!
