Student Art Feature: Layered Character Portraits

For those of you that were wondering... Yes, I had snow. No, it was not enough to have a snow day. Yes, I was up early shoveling. Since then we have had some bitter cold days, with highs of 18. I don't even want to guess at what our wind chill was. However, I am crossing my fingers for some warmer weather this weekend.

As I was walking around School B and noticed some really cool art projects in the hall. As I was inquiring about them I learned that they were not just oil paintings, but they are in fact a stamped sheet with an oil portrait cut out and layered on top. They look so good you have to get up close and almost touch them to realize it is two layers.

Take a look for yourself.

Not sure if these are self portraits, or some sort of funky monsters, but they look great.

I believe this class read How I Became a Pirate by David Shannon, and made their own pirates.

Hope you have a great weekend.
