Still Here

Students explored ZENtangle work by developing patterns and incorporating them into an artwork, using a cathartic, almost meditative process. Using pen techniques of hatching, crosshatching, stippling, and scribbling, students developed an understanding of rendering 3-dimensional illusions within the work. To incorporate collaboration into the works as well as further the concept of catharic art, artworks will become coloring pages for others to enjoy.

Students were encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings as we entered year one of the COVID pandemic. Through journal writing, students explored personal changes, positive or negative, in their lives. With a focus on personal rather than global, we explored how our relationships have changed. From their writing, students were to pull out a line or a few words that stuck out to them. Students created artwork that solely expressed their personal experience and feeling around the effects of the pandemic.

In our live session, students were given specific mark-making prompts, which they used to form their own composition. Having discussed the use of text, mood, and color in art, students further developed the artwork on their own, incorporating their current mood, thoughts, lyrics, and other forms into their art.

Students at DreamYard Prep spent the past semester pursuing their interest in anime. Through concentrated skill building and a communal studio time, these artists uplifted the unique quality of art as a form of community development.

These pieces are inspired by Black Lives Matter posters. Students designed posters by incorporating elements of their previous graphic design assignments to create original and impactful images.

This video documents what this past year of teaching remotely has evolved into. In each of these school sites, students explored beyond the confines of the pandemic through their artwork. What emerged? Joy, radiance and hope.
