Masks

6th Graders start with heavy paper and then use papier-mâché to make colorful masks. See how creative they are!

Two examples of 3-D art using cardboard and metallic paints.

Two of the wonderful papier mache heads from 2011. To see most of the heads, click here.

These shoes are the 8th grade Auction project!

7th Graders form the under structure for their papier maché characters from coffee cans. This project has become a favorite 3-D design that the students look forward to. From Coffee can to finished project there are many steps. Newspaper and masking tape, wet paper maché, paint and color! See what fun it is!

6th graders prepare Angels and Archetecture pictures. One will be selected as the Ascension Christmas Card.

The 3rd shoe was made for Art class completely out of tape and other ordinary materials.

Above, torn-paper portraits by the 7th grade.

Lucky students got to make an engraving on copper.

"Product Placement" from students at Ascension! Students take a product package and enlarge it to over-sized proportions.

These portraits were made by 4th graders. The assignment is to paint yourself as a famous person from the past- a king or queen, president, leader, artist or saint.

Students use shapes and repetition in the Number projects.

The Illusion of 3-D in 2-D

Two volunteer "Art Ladies" come to Mrs. Pesce's classes several times a year.

Here, the masterpiece "American Gothic" by Grant Wood was the subject of the talk.
