Art Class

Periodically, we will highlight the art work created by Cheney Tech students in Ms. Blair's art classes.

The Juniors and Seniors in Advanced Art worked on a project called “Elements of a Movement”. They started by reviewing art movements and the history of the artists during each era. For example: The Impressionists Love Light. Realism was crucial to the artists of the Baroque era. The Cubists expressed their ideas in geometric shapes. Reality was totally rejected during the Abstract Movement.

The art movement students chose to study were: the Renaissance, Impressionism, Expressionism, Bauhaus, Non-figurative, and Pop Art. We combined a famous artists first or last initial of their name with images of their artistic style. The first initial should be done very large so that within the letter you can include at least three versions of that artists own paintings or drawings.

Below are some examples of the students art work:
