Greek Vase Cut Paper ReliefsThis cut paper relief was based on the subject of Greek Vases and the medium was black construction paper. They had to first make their design and then do a reverse cut, meaning, they had to cut out the negative area and then when they placed it on colored paper background the positive area would show through.

Walking a Man Stronger than a Car Shoe Design ProjectFor several weeks, students went through several color theory assignments using colored pencils. They studied how to create a 12 step color wheel using only the primary colors. From there they went further into color blending, creating value scales from one color to another. They completed a basic fruit study, bring a single piece of fruit to life using only value. The final step design a women's high heel shoe. I went into lengthy discussions about the women's shoe market and how the farther out there their designs were that they just might create something that may become a shoe of the future. This is what they came up with and I'm proud of their work!
