Design: Elements and Principles

To begin the year, the Design class studied the elements and principles of design. Each student was asked to create a small Design Card that represented an element or principle.

Drawing and Painting: Figure Drawing

The Drawing and Painting class started the year with observational drawings. After warming up with stationary objects, we moved on to drawing from a live model. Each student took a turn modeling for the class - they were such good sports! After a few days, they were challenged with drawing multiple drawings on one page with pen. Each drawing was completed in about 5 minutes!

AP Studio: Mechanical Fragments

To jump start the school year, the AP Studio classes were the first to begin as well as the first to complete a major assignment. Each student was given a shiny metallic object and was asked to draw fragments of the object. After drawing the fragments, they created imaginary extensions. Can you tell which parts of the drawings are from life and which are invented?

Welcome Back!

Woodstock School is back in session! After a few weeks of classes, staff and students are beginning to feel comfortable with all the new changes the school year has brought. 

The Woodstock Art Department is settling into some major changes. First, and most exciting, there are now two full-time art teachers in the Senior School. This means that 7-9th grade students have art much more frequently. Another exciting change is that the Studio 2 class has turned into an official AP Studio Art course with 18 students (almost 1/4 of the graduating class!)

To accommodate the additional art classes, a new art room has been created near the existing one on the top floor of the Media Center. Additionally, the art program has acquired a small room near the MC Auditorium for viewing images, critiquing artwork, and - most importantly - displaying artwork! In effect, it is slowly becoming a proper gallery space. Stay tuned for news of student art exhibits!
