Mrs. Gentry's Art Room

 Darkroom Silhouettes   It's finally here, the end of the school year, and students are having fun experimenting in the darkroom with silhouettes.  We also tried some sandwiching but I can upload those on a different date. Here is to having a great summer!

Time Lapse Photos are finally here I could only put up the ones that distorted the face beyond recognition, but they turned out great all the same, and the kids loved them!

Starting time lapse portraits with my Junior High Students.  We will be using SLR black and white film.  I can't wait for the experimenting to begin!  Hopefully I can post some final results at a later date.

Second Year for Photo Boxes So impressed with the level of boxes this year.  The kids really understood the concept of creating a unique space that exists of its own accord.  LOVE IT!

Photo Students Exploring the School   Students were asked to explore the school and take pictures focusing on composition.    Some students took creativity into their own hands!  

Ink Blots and Zen-tangles Collide Students had a bit of fun making ink blots, but we then filled all the open areas with Zen-tangles.  We talked about abstract art, and being inspired by opportunity and space.  We talked about treating each area of their ink blot as an opportunity not a challenge.  We later introduce the basics of color schemes.  The students were able to pick their own color scheme to incorporate into their art.  I think they are fabulous!  So are finished some are not but no matter what drawing level a student is at they turn out great.
