High School Atelier in its third year!

The high school atelier is in its third year! 

The atelier class is held all year long during regular school hours, as a class in Bradford Christian Academy,(http://bradfordchristianacademy.org/). This is an amazing school, check them out. I am so pleased to be able to teach this subject. The results are awesome! 
Check out https://www.facebook.com/SandraGaldaArt/ to see what we are up to!




We began the year again with some Bargue work.


We are just finishing some value studies, one above. In our next projects we will be leaving sight size and working more relationally, using comparative strategies. 
More later!

We did group effort large abstracts after Franz Kline...and individual versions too...
The students crated 3D wire sculptures.....


They worked on exercises in values.....




They worked many exercises in one, two and Three point perspective.....
