Elemental Print

Posted by Dillon Hershey in Art - Freshman - Hull on

My element was Cerium​ and I did a print about neon signs because Cerium is in neon signs. 
Inquiry- I was questioning about my element and trying to find what my element did. 
Research- I researched everything about my element and found what my element did. 
Collaboration- I collaborated with my peers about what type of design I should use. 
Presentation- I presented the matted print to Ms. Hull.
Reflection- I reflected as I printed more prints because the paint would stick in the lines of the block and so I thought that if I would do it again, I would make sure that the lines I carved are deep enough.

Element Project: Carbon

Posted by Allison Kelly in Art - Freshman - Hull on

Inquiry: When thinking about ideas for my element, Carbon, I had several questions. "What is everything to know about Carbon? ​What is it best known for? What are some things most people don't about the element? How can I best portray this element?" 
Research: Since I had so many unanswered questions about my element I had to do a lot of research. I needed to look up the atomic mass, atomic number, facts, and designs that can represent my element.
Collaboration: When creating my actual design I collaborated a lot! Many of my classmates and I worked together to help make decisions on what designs should be used and which came out looking the nicest. We also worked together throughout the whole crafting process. 
Presentation: After completing my final products I had a few to choose from to hand in to my teacher. I presented them all to my classmates to help make a decision. This blogpost itself is a great example of presenting my project.
Reflection: This blogpost has actually helped me do the most reelection. After actually looking back to write about my process, I realized how much I learned and how much this project process actually taught me.

Element Project

Posted by Alejandro Bautista-Garcia in Art - Freshman - Hull on

​
Inquiry:  I asked questions like What is nickel? How can it be used as art and where was it made before? Who created it?

Research: I did a fair amount of research to teach myself on nickel and how was it made.

Collaboration: My classmates and my teacher basically critiqued my drawings and helped me choose which one was the best out of all of them.


Presentation: To present my drawing I had to softly cut the drawing so it looked more professional  and people could tell what I have done in my drawing.

Reflection: I reflected and sometimes I think of what would it look like if I did the same drawing again but a lot much better and nicer.

Negative space in art is the are around the object in the picture. It is what is around the object in the picture that forms an image in itself. Finding negative space in my still life drawings was easy. I found the easiest way to do it is to make a slight outline of the major object of the picture and then add details by shading around it forming the negative space for the still life. Finding negative space for my cut out was way more difficult. It became very confusing at points to recognize the negative space from the actual object but once you seen it a certain way then you just caught on and then it was pretty simple. I think finding negative space helps an artist because it creates another image and shows something more that you can't see when looking from a positive space perspective. This also enhances drawings because it gives detail or a totally separate image to the original. 





Example: Positive space (in black) you see a vase, but negative space (in white) you can see the profile of two faces.

It's Elemental: Barium

Posted by Sydne Hopkins-Baker in Art - Freshman - Hull on

For the last art project of the school year this was a lot of fun. I enjoyed carving and printing, and I did not cut off a finger. This type of project wasn’t new to me because I printed during summer camp but didn’t focus on negative space or matting art. My element was Barium. Some interesting facts about Barium is that Sir Humphry Davy discovered Barium in 1808. It’s Atomic number is 56 Barium is found in salts that are used to make fireworks green. Barium is also used in metals to make them heavy sometimes used in silverware and X-rays. My print is called Barium Man. It suits the print because the carnie is holding up an anvil that is made by Barium. I had other sketches for Barium but this sketch was perfect At SLA we embrace using the five core values and during this project the values were useful in many areas.


Inquiry: The first question was which sketch shows the uses to Barium?  A good question that I asked myself was would this be easy to carve without cutting my self?


Research: To make my sketch I had to learn more about my element. I researched more about Barium to get an accurate design to see what it looks like. Based off of printing from before, your sketch should be easy to carve. Another thing is to know about negative space. If you know where your negative space is your print will turn out better than expected.


Collaboration: When it came time for printing we all collaborated as a whole to put out paints and take turns using the different rollers because there was more paint than rollers. Another way we collaborated as a whole was the clean up. We all came together to clean up the room when we were done so we wouldn’t be late to our next class.   


Presentation: For my presentation I matted the best print out of all the prints I made. I also decided to show the world my creations by blogging about them. It’s a good way to show off something you are proud off.


Reflection: Over all this was a fun project, if I could do it over I would try a new design that would have thicker lines and less detail. The more detail in the print the harder it was to carve. With a design that has thicker lines and less design it is easier to see the print and it looks a lot neater than mines was.

Element Project

Posted by Anna Sugrue in Art - Freshman - Hull on

Inquiry:  I asked many questions when beginning this project. What is neodymium? How can I reflect the element's identity in a piece of art?

Research: I did quite a lot of research to educate myself on neodymium and it's purpose and importance in our lives. I researched both the science and chemistry of the element and the artistic application of the element.

Collaboration: My peers helped critique my various sketches. I was able to brainstorm better out loud and get good constructive criticism to improve my product.

Presentation: The presentation of the final element print is essential. I had to print neatly and cut and matte it precisely in order for it to look professional, well done, and well presented. 

Reflection: I reflected and looked at the bigger picture several times during my process, considering what my project would look like in a grade wide periodic table. I also reflected on my previous experience in science and engineering class with elements to help enrich my project.

Print Reflection

Posted by Andrew Roberts in Art - Freshman - Hull on

​Inquiry:  I inquired about strontium.  I knew almost nothing about it, and had to research it.  I asked, "What is it used for?"  "How was it discovered?'

Research:I learned things like its atomic number is 38, and that it is used in fireworks and cathode ray tubes, which were used in analog TV's.

Collaboration:  Though this was an individual project, I still collaborated.  I constantly asked my friends and Ms. Hull what they thought of my work, and if they knew a way I could improve it.

Presentation:  The presentation of this piece was the actual printing and matting.  I had fun printing, but the prints did not come out as well as I wanted.

Reflection:  After I was done, I was able to see others' work also.  It was very fascinating, and I found some ideas that could have made my work better.
