Kinetic Sculptures


 
Students in Mrs. Nyhan’s 8th grade art classes have had the incredible opportunity of working with LittleBits technology to create animated kinetic sculptures.  The art department received a grant from the Concord Trust last spring to purchase LittleBits STEAM kits for all art students to use.  LittleBits are circuitry bricks that can be connected to animate and bring sculpture and inventive prototypes to the next level.  Students had the opportunity to build on being effective collaborators and creative producers though this process.  Mrs. Kashi’s and Mrs. Bednaz’s classes will be also using these in the weeks to come.  Stay tuned!

End of 1st Quarter


 
The Rundlett Middle School art department would like to thank all their first quarter art students for their hard work and perseverance! It was a busy first quarter with each grade completing three major summative assignments – drawings, paintings and a clay sculptures. Please be sure to ask your students about their work – most of them should have found their way home. You can always see fine examples of our students amazing art abilities in the halls of Rundlett. We look forward to continuing our art making with quarter two Rundett artists!

8th Grade Technical Drawing


 
Students have been diligently finishing their technical drawings. In Mrs. Bednaz’s class, students are drawing skulls and creating a range of values using pastels. Meanwhile, in Mrs. Nyhan, students have been drawing ears of corn using watercolor to create value. And finally in Mrs. Kashi’s class students have been drawing shells and using pastels to create value. All were inspired by the works of Georgia O’Keeffe.
