Amazing Line Designs from Art 1 at @MonticelloHigh ! Students practiced using a variety of patterns while also balancing the dark and light areas of the design. #linedesign #inkdrawing #acps

I’m a high school art teacher who would love to make my art space more unique this year with updated decor and items for students to use. Thanks for checking out my list! Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated. #clearthelist2023 #clearthelist.

Students explored various color schemes in kaleidoscope paintings! I love seeing all the designs and color combinations. #acps #mhs #artsed #highschoolart @lisaperegoy511 @bethcosta6 @ACPSFineArts

For Black History Month and Women’s History Month, Art 1 studied the work of Alma Woodsey Thomas and created their own inspired designs. I love all the color combinations! #blackhistorymonth #womenshistorymonth #art #painting #acps @bethcosta6 @MonticelloHigh @ACPSFineArts

These food illustration oil pastel drawings turned out amazing! The students came up with so many great ideas about how to find visual rhythm in food. @MonticelloHigh @bethcosta6 @lisaperegoy511 @ACPSFineArts #oilpastel #acps #artsed #illustration

Who is ready for spring weather? 🙋🏻‍♀️. Maybe our flower paintings brought on the warmer temperatures? @bethcosta6 @MonticelloHigh @ACPSFineArts #watercolor #artsed

Can you identify the celebrities in these posterized portraits created by @MonticelloHigh Art 4 students? #artsed #acrylicpainting #acps @bethcosta6 @ACPSFineArts

Art 1 Students were challenged to create an illustration of food using small pieces of magazine. I love the creativity they showed! @MonticelloHigh @bethcosta6 @ACPSFineArts #illustration #artsed #collage

Art 1 students practicing color mixing in preparation for our next painting project. Painting is my favorite unit to teach! #painting #artsed @bethcosta6 @MonticelloHigh @ACPSFineArts

Scratch art animals in the art room this month! @MonticelloHigh @bethcosta6 @ACPSFineArts #scratchart #acps #artsed

Exploring Impressionist landscape techniques in oil pastels is one of my favorite projects to teach students. Look at those bright colors and textures! @MonticelloHigh @bethcosta6 @lisaperegoy511 @ACPSFineArts #acps #artsed #impressionism #oilpastels

These charcoal illustrations of plants from Art 4 are beautiful examples of how to blend charcoal with water! @MonticelloHigh @bethcosta6 @ACPSFineArts #acps #artsed #charcoal

These gesture drawings from Art 2 utilize line to show movement in various figures. But the real fun began when students could deconstruct and reconstruct them with mixed media! @MonticelloHigh @bethcosta6 @ACPSFineArts #artsed #gesturedrawing #acps

Art 1 explores how to incorporate negative spaces in an overall design to mimic stained glass with paper. Love how they look when the light comes through. @ACPSFineArts @bethcosta6 @lisaperegoy511 #acps #artsed

High Contrast Still Life Drawings in Art 4 at @MonticelloHigh are a great example of how to use shadows to show forms of objects. I love the various textures the students incorporated too! @ACPSFineArts @bethcosta6 @lisaperegoy511 #illustration #inkdrawing #stilllife #artsed

None of the Art 3 students at @MonticelloHigh were left in the dark when it came to drawing light reflections on glass with white charcoal. Amazed at these still life drawings! #artsed #charcoal #acps @bethcosta6 @lisaperegoy511 @ACPSFineArts

Wow, these charcoal shoes! Love the way students captured the highlights and shadows ✍️ 🤩 #charcoal #artsed @MonticelloHigh @bethcosta6 @ACPSFineArts @lisaperegoy511

Things are getting surreal in Art 3 at @MonticelloHigh . Students learn how to use surreal techniques with realistic shading for dream like compositions. @bethcosta6 @ACPSFineArts @lisaperegoy511
