Throwback Thursday 1/6/2013

  

The Art II class at Exeter-Milligan has learned the term trompe l’oeil , which means “to fool the eye”.  They are making food sculptures out of clay to fool people into believing they are real. 

The students have made a piece of cake with pecans and bits of chocolate, doughnuts, and a banana split.  The students are adding the glaze for color and are anxious to see them after they come out of the kiln.

 

In Mr. Dean Filipi's General Industrial Tech. class, Nolan White and Robert Harre went green and made a deer blind out of recycled materials.  The body of the blind is made of old cow tanks while the roof is an old satellite dish.
