Drawing Portraits from Portraits
Cerrito Creek & Strawberry Creek 4/5 classes worked on practicing drawing people from pictures. Students selected from dozens of xerox copies of portrait paintings which they were asked to render as accurately as possible. Copying the images in black and white sometimes helps students to see the different values in an image.

"One Community Many Faces"
One of The Berkeley Schools' 2nd year students traveled to Coppenhagen on summer vacation with her family. She and her Mom participated in a group project where everyone at the museum made a face out of clay that was mounted on a wall structure. The sculpture was started at our Fall gathering on September 23, 2012. It's outside the East entrance of the Art Studio. We are continuing to make this community art piece in the K- 8th classes this week. (10/1/12)
Thanks to Jeanine for bringing the project to us.
