These are images of some more work from students that I taught at Compass Public Charter School. The first image is an encaustic painting done on a board (used cardboard as well). I had the high school kids draw still life first onto their boards, then I melted crayons in muffin tins on top of a griddle and they used patinbrushes to apply the melted crayon to the cardboard. The second image is of a cube project I did with 7th graders at Compass. I had them create their cube story based on a story that they were reading in their language arts class, they were to pick out a scene or event in the book and depict it on the cube. The challenge for them was to draw large enough so the images overflowed into the other quadrants of the cube. They were not allowed to draw one picture on each side. This was really challenging for them. Once their drawing was done, they painted their cubes in tempera. Both projects were a big hit with the kids.
