Glenwood City High Day Seven

My final day was at Glenwood City High School was short and a bit nostalgic. I had enjoyed my time there and had learned and grown over the course of the last semester. When I first got there, a bit early, I caught the end of 3-D class for the first time. Mrs. Jones was helping a student on the wheel. He was building a cylinder that was getting tall, but was a bit off center. Mrs. Jones did a good job of saving the pot from getting too far off, exhibiting some deft ceramics skill. This was with good reason, it was Her concentration at Stout. It was good to see this, especially considering ceramics wasn't exactly my strongest studio class and I look forward to improving in the area in the near future.
Next came painting class, where most students had finished their main piece and were moving onto a two-sided painting. By two-sided I mean that the students painted two distinct pieces and then putting them together on cardboard, running perpendicular to each other and propped up in triangles. As you turned the projects from side to side they made interesting and evolving combinations of each other. An impressive project indeed. Mrs. Jones had the students start by griding out the compositions, a stage that most students were at.
The senior were gone that day and that caused senior studio and the joint senior studio class to be canceled. There wouldn't be art classes until the final period when the eighth graders were finishing up on an assignment. I had already exceeded the necessary time, so I left as Mrs. Jones recommended. I said goodbye to Mrs. Jones and She told me to keep Her posted in progress in education.
As I left I photographed the advanced senior display.

The theme for that portion of the advanced studio semester was "PUZZLE." The student's interpreted this in many different was and made an impressive display.
