Imagine its the first day of Art class and as you walk into the room, you fall down and break your arm! How would you make art? That's a problem. Now, imagine if you went to the store and bought the biggest bag of Skittles in the world... only to find out you have a cavity and can't eat them. What do you do with all that candy? That's a problem! In today's unit, we will take a look at how you can create art through limitations. I know, that sounds crazy! If you have a limitation, how can you create art? Well, watch this short video and you'll see how artists not only solve the problems of limitations, but even come up with their own limitations, on purpose, to make art!
 This work of art by Trey D. is 4 x 5 feet and was created on 480 'Hello, My Name Is' stickers.   The building might be closed but the art making continues. The act of making art, creating, is something that is built into the artist. There are some people that need to create and just because a building is closed, doesn't mean they will stop. They cant stop. They won't stop. Here is a look at some of the art that is still being created outside of the building doors. Above, Max has finished the shaping of this helmet. It is ready for the next step, painting. Kaycee borrowed some clay and has been working from home creating this very cool ceramic fairy house. Savannah created this fantastic painting on the left while Trey created the great work of art on the right. Chase has limited access to the computer art apps we usually use in school but he continues to make art. Check out his 3D work. Some of Autumn's latest digital works. Raven has been working in both 2D and 3D! Chaz has eclectic taste in entertainment Ellea finishing up her series of cake painting in oil paint. The art of South Brunswick High School, NC
It seems for every holiday, there is a candy that goes along with it. Candy corn for Halloween, candy canes for Christmas, candy hearts for Valentine's Day. This time of year, the stores are loaded with jelly beans, marshmallow peeps and other candy you're not going to eat because, lets be honest, they taste terrible! But that doesn't mean they can't be useful! In this week's unit, we will look at how candy can be used to make cool art! So, if you have some leftover candy, join us in making some art. And if you don't have any, this short video might still inspire you to create. Wait till you see the amazing art I make with only a couple of left over marshmallows! After you create your cool artwork, don't forget to post it to Sutori or Seesaw or you can email it to us isands@bcswan.net or Sbelter@bcswan.net.
