Create a personal Coat of Arms. Remember that the purpose of a Coat of Arms is to represent who you are to the world.

Work collaboratively with your HOUSE to create a personal Coat of Arms. Remember: A coat of arms is the principal part of a system of symbols dating back to early medieval Europe, used primarily to establish identity in battle. Arms evolved to be a symbol of family descent, alliance, property ownership, and, eventually, profession.

Sculptures created using air dry clay over/under a plastic face form. They are painted and embellished according to the student artist's sketches

Draw in pencil a line design that does not have any area that is larger than 1/2 inch wide on to a thick cardboard base. Trace over penciled design with a thick line of Elmer's Glue. Allow to dry overnight and apply another line the following day. (A third coat of glue might be advantageous.) When glue is dry, work on preparing the paper for printing by adding some guidelines to the paper. Rough edges of printing paper can also add an artistic touch. You will make 3 copies of your print using colored construction paper. Evenly add finished project to black construction paper to create the look of framing. When you are finished with creating your (3) prints, cover your glued relief in heavy duty aluminum foil. Use a burnishing tool to help the foil into the creases between the glue lines. Paint black india ink over the aluminum foil to add depth to the overall piece of artwork. Very lightly, wipe off excess ink. Add artwork to black construction paper for displaying.

You will create a 2D piece of art inspired by the style of Keith Haring. Our focus will be on the elements of art and the principles of design.

Students will incorporate the inspiring and triumphant spirit of Eric Legrand (#52) into Jordan sneaker design. The challenge will also be the mindful incorporation of our vibe as the city of Hoboken.
