Drawing hands accurately can be one of the hardest challenges for an artist... but Studio 2 with Professor Steckel did such an amazing job! Now on to the final project! #StayTuned #WhartonWildcats #Drawing

1/2 Photo 1 worked hard to capture “viewpoints” that you don’t always see. Have you taken the time to really look at the world around you? #WhartonArt #WhartonWildcats #Photography #Composition w/Professor Steckel

Clay or paper, we are going to turn them into an awesome sculpture! It all comes down to implement those key points into the design #WhartonArt #WhartonWildcats #ArtWithMsChen

Wildcat Artists! All students for Professor Steckel classes can get extra credit if they are participating. Not in my class? You should still participate and you can get “honorary” extra credit. Best drawings will get featured here #WhartonArt #WhartonWildcats #Inktober #WildcatInk

Pre-AP Studio students took on the challenge from College Board in creating sculptures with non-traditional materials. Collecting 100 items and building something new. Everyone did amazing work!! w/Professor Steckel Wharton High School #WhartonArt #FoundMaterials #CollegeBoard

Round 2 of Found Material sculptures from Pre-AP Studio because there were so many good works of art w/@professorsteckel #WhartonArt #FoundMaterials #CollegeBoard

Rhythm, pattern, balance.... all of the Principles of Design were beautifully captured by Photo 1 students this year. Can you name all 8 Principles of Design? #WhartonArt #PrinciplesOfDesign #WhartonWildcats

The first rolls of film have been developed by the amazing Photo 3 group! Now to make some prints! #FilmIsNotDead #WhartonArt #WhartonWildcats #Darkroom

Pre-AP Studio 1 students learned about appropriation in art and reinterpreted a historical piece and modified it into a self-portrait #WhartonArt #PreAP #CollegeBoard College Board HCPS Art Education Hillsborough Schools

Surrealism is always a great way to explore the dreamlike and bizarre. 2D Studio 2 nailed it! W/Professor Steckel

Access Art made some pencil holders for our Counselors who have been working hard on scheduling #WhartonArt #WhartonWildcats

A special shout-out to Photo 2 student Brianna! The skill & time put into the work is always amazing to see! These are some of her images from our “Tell A Lie” project #WhartonArt #WhartonWildcats Hillsborough Art Education Association HCPS Art Education Hillsborough Schools

Photo 2 worked on not only creating Diptychs, 2 images side by side which can be a challenge.. they made them “interactive” which made them even more challenging. But they did amazing with them!! #WhartonArt #WhartonWildcats #Photography

For many Studio 2 artists, they had never used vine charcoal before. Using a new art material can sometimes open up whole new worlds for you as an artist. Often times it’s not as precise as a pencil, but the approach to value totally changes #WhartonArt #CharcoalDrawing

Studio 1 worked on their sketchbooks drawing out ‘something that needs to be fixed.’ What do you think needs to be fixed? #WhartonArt
