Art 1 is our beginning level art class - if you like this class and do well, you can take other art courses.
You'll explore different types of art media in this course - the first semester is devoted to 2-dimensional work (drawing, painting, printmaking, etc.) and during the second semester you'll create some great 3-dimensional art (boxes, fish, clay, etc.).
Supplies needed for this class:

A pencil (the kind you sharpen in a pencil sharpener) every day - please make sure that the pencil has an eraser on it.
Eraser
Hand-held pencil sharpener

3-D Fish
Procedure
1. On one piece of the tagboard, draw a fish without the tail or fins – just the body.
2. Lay the drawing over the other piece of tagboard and cut out through both papers. You will have 2 fish.
3. With both fish together, cut the gill (make sure it goes down to the
bottom of the fish)
4. Use a craft knife and begin cutting the scales on one of the fish – it is easier to cut v-shaped rather than curved scales. There should be a LOT of scales (a zillion!). Lift up on each scale after it’s cut to make the scale 3-dimensional. Make the scales from the gill back to where the tail will be.
5. Continue cutting scales on both sides of the fish (it’s too hard to cut through both fish when making the scales – just do one side at a time)
6. From your scraps or another piece of tagboard, draw and cut the tail and all the fins – make doubles of all of these.Cut the eyes – try to make them 3-dimensional.
7.
Cut one and then try to place the other eye in the same place on the other fish body.
8. Overlap and glue the gills so that the fish is no longer flat. Don’t overlap too much.
9. Cut open spaces in the tail/fins so that it gives a graceful/moving
illusion. Do this for all of the fins.
10. Glue the fins and the tail to the inside of the fish body.
11. Glue/tack the fish together, making sure you glue it at the head/mouth, tail, and at the top and bottom – it doesn’t have to be glued .
Add fishing line to hang the fish and you’re done
Letter Sculpture
1. Trace the letter of your choice onto posterboard (cut 2)
2. Roll up pieces of newspaper into small balls and put them between the two letter pieces.
3. Tape the sides of the letters.
4. Paper Mache the letters so that they are smooth.
