Memory Project

BHS Art Club

Art Club members have completed portraits of a group of orphans living in Guatemala and they are on their way there as I type!  Here are just a few examples of the work they did for The Memory Project.









Final Pastel Portrait

Advanced Drawing and Painting


As we approach the last days of school I will be posting completed student work.  The piece below is an excellent example of taking a portrait to the next level. The inspiration for this project was Pablo Picasso's portraits. We viewed his very realistic work and his cubist work.  We also talked about how using a particular color scheme can make an impact.  This student chose an analogous color scheme. The placement of the colors helps move the viewers eye around the piece.  The student did a wonderful job creating balance by dividing the space appropriately.  I love that this piece shows the student's ability to handle the medium while giving us this unique work of art!
