The Sculpture class focuses on realistic modeling from life. These are some of the ceramic pieces displayed in the art hallway made by a variety of students. One gets freedom with the way they would like to shape the form, paint the project, and glaze the project. The projects made in ceramics are food, microwave, and dishwasher safe to be brought home. Ceramics teaches students all steps of making a ceramic piece from wedging clay, wheel throwing, painting, and glazing. I look forward to ceramics as it is a time for me to relax and work on fun projects with freedom to make anything I want to bring home. Using adobe animate and other websites, the animation class teaches students about the history and techniques of animation. We created drawings with charcoal, graphite, colored pencil, and printmaking. This is a cloth project done in crafts and design on display in the art hallway.Īfter having been introduced to drawing in Art Foundations, I took drawing the second semester of freshman year. A cloth project done in crafts and design on display in the art hallway ( Victoria Lang)Ĭrafts and design is another semester class which allows students to branch out into projects such as collage, metalworking, bookmaking, glass fusing, and mosaic. Though it may not be the most impressive piece of artwork, this is one of the projects I had the most fun making freshman year during Art Foundations. I had fun creating and trying the different techniques which then inspired me to continue with drawing and ceramics. Art foundations was a great class to start off my high school experience. Students explore projects such as graphite still life drawing, tempera painting, ceramics, photography, and graphic design. Taking Art Foundations is a great first art class as one can try all different areas of art while learning where their talents and interests revolve. Doing art can be a great time for students to relax without pressure while creating projects. With pressure from classes, sports, and other extracurricular activities, it is important for students to have down time. I’m able to go into the classroom not worried about grades, homework, or studying for the next test. They have provided an escape from stress and the real world for me. However, I was not aware of a lot of the art classes offered at Lake Forest and wanted to make sure incoming grades are informed of all the art classes. Sophomore and Junior year I did not take any art classes but now in senior year I took ceramics first semester and again, second semester.
Freshman year, I took Art Foundations and Drawing which I very much enjoyed. If there was one thing I would change about the classes I took during high school it would be to take at least one art class each year.
