Over the course of our summer we will feature various artists and art pieces from each Jenison elementary school as well as the Junior High and High School. Each piece was carefully chosen by our art teachers and we hope you will enjoy the talents and hard work of our students while you also enjoy a beautiful and relaxing summer!
Untitled
By: Emily Potter
Jenison High School
This was a nature study project in drawing class where students chose one item from nature and did a close up drawing of it focusing on texture, color, and dynamic compositions. The choice of object and what materials to use opens up the opportunity to approach this project any way the student would like.
We are so proud of Emily and how well she did going outside her comfort zone and experimenting with a new art medium. She is usually extremely precise with beautiful graphite pencil drawing so it was new to her to draw with chalk pastels on black paper. She was careful with her placement of color and smooth application of the pastels to show the deep beauty of a rose.
Emily and her artwork were selected by her high school art teachers, Sara Buzzitta and Melissa Ellis.
