Freshmen through seniors collaborated in Ms. Partridge’s art class, where the students worked on color mixing, proportion, and scaling. This mystery artwork is a fairly new tradition that has students pick an image at random and use their art skills to scale the image onto a bigger canvas, simultaneously matching the color of the smaller image with watercolors to paint on the bigger canvas. This was a group project where students worked on the art pieces individually but collaborated on their artwork in the end to create one collective piece.
Ms.Partridge turning over the image students in art class will use as reference to scale up and color match onto their canvas.This canvas was drawn by senior Kerning H. at Galileo. We see the letter ‘O’ in yellow centered on the canvas with a purple shadow.Junior Heydi H. painted canvas C4. We have half a flower on the left side of the canvas and a piece of the lion’s mane on the left side of the canvas.Canvas D3 was drawn by senior Arizabeth P. we can see the middle of a flower and pink petals on the top left and bottom right of the canvas.This is canvas A3 by senior Isabella I. her art piece shows the mane of a lion in three different shades.There is the bottom of a peach-colored flower with leaves on the left side of the canvas, on the other side we have what seems to be the bottom left of the lion’s mane.Here we can see the top of what looks like the letter “O” and the bottom of the lion’s mane.
