Digital Self Portraits
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping
Students are creating digital self portraits on their Chromebooks. They are using the Chrome app Sumopaint/Pixlr. After uploading a photo from their web cam, students are working in layers to create an animated version of themselves using pencil, bucket, and paint brush tools. After completing the first two layers, they will duplicate the photo layer and create a distorted portrait using the smudge tool. This set of skill correlates directing with any photo editing software such as Adobe Photoshop, yet; this is a free app.

September 2014- Drawing and Van Gogh
We are working on upside down drawings and blind contour line drawings. These drawing exercises are excellent ways to improve your drawing skills. Drawing takes practice and review. Developing your technical skills increases the visual vocabulary of thoughts, creativity, and expression.
We also started our Van Gogh paintings. After looking the resources below, students are incorporating warm/cool and complementary color palettes into their Van Gogh still lifes.
Using Haiku as an extension of our classroom students are able to access resources from classroom pages. Below are three examples of items posted on the 7th grade art Haiku page.

King Njoya of Bamum byBernatzik, Hugo Adolf, 1897-1953(via NYPL)http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/id?488175The 7th gr. chair project was inspired by King Njoya's ceremonial royal court displays. I studied West African Art during graduate school at KU. The layers of meaning and imagery display trade connections and iconic meanings that can be analyzed from this powerful photograph from the New York Public Library.

Quest Academy's 7th Gr. Odyssey Animation 2012
The seventh graders created a stop motion animation(using the iPad app iStopmotion) based on the
Odyssey. Posted above (old example), this was a cross-curricular integrated project with LASS.
December/January
My seventh graders are creating a collaborative stop motion animation of the Odyssey. Using Google apps has allowed the students to seamlessly and simultaneously create illustrations (while students are typing up storyboard scene descriptions) in the drawing app which are the uploaded to Google presentation. Scriptwriters write the script while sitting next the storyboard artists and writers. The animators create their character based on the storyboard. Due to the creative process aided by Google apps, all students have a job to do and can readily see/critique/ hone the work flow and product at any point during their work period. We are using the iStopmotion app to create the animation and Pinnacle or iMovie for the final clip editing, narration and music additions. Students are working with iPads and MacBook Pros.
November and December 2013
The seventh graders will be creating a stop motion animation based on the
Odyssey. This will be a cross-curricular integrated project with LASS. An example is posted below.
