One Giant Step for Mankind

Erin Graziano's Class Prototype 'Rocket Launch!' - oil pastel, black acrylic, mixed media on paper

Our latest Early Release workshop, 'One Giant Step for Mankind' led by Erin Graziano, launched our artwork into Outer Space! Students constructed rockets using cut out shapes, foil, wooden shapes, funky tape and sharpie marker for accents. The students then placed their assemblage piece on top of their space paintings. A complete multi-media experience in outer space! Brilliant! Check out the intergalactic planet paintings!


Rocket Launch!

Students begin laying out their planets - first in pencil. Then students begin using oil pastel techniques to create the planets.










  


Students are then instructed to begin making their "space" around the planets using black acrylic paint. An emphasis is placed on layout design and our building the pieces using different mediums.































Love the rings around Saturn in this Planetary Galaxy!
