“Art is never finished, only abandoned.”
-Leonardo da Vinci.

Addy has experienced this great artist dilemma for 4 years. Although there is always a risk of overworking, she’s become much more confident in knowing when to properly abandon (finish) the work. Her continued hard work and growth as an artist shine through on each project! Brilliant work Addy!

Art I has been hard at work learning the basic fundamentals of observation, light logic, and principles of shading. They recently completed the last section of the shading unit by demonstrating an understanding in turning flat shapes to illusions of 3-dimensional forms. They’ll begin their first unit final art projects soon! In the meantime, check out their grasp of both basic and advancing of the principles of shading. Their goals were to match the left column as closely as they could observe by the time they reached the advanced column on the far right. Outstanding work Art I!

Art II is finishing up Unit 1 that began exploration of drawing eyes, ears, mouth, and nose features. The preliminary reflective and metal sketch practices showed their potential for great success in the upcoming unit studies. Unit 1 of 4 is off to an excellent start! Each unit will progress in difficulty leading up to their portrait finals. Enjoy viewing their continued growth throughout the training units!

“Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.”

-Vince Lombardi

Art II level has been hard at work in their practices for portrait drawing. They’re completing studies of facial features, facial structures, and pushing hard to perfect the demanding details of eyes that capture their viewer(s) (You!). Practices in glass and metal can simultaneously familiarize the demands of drawing eyes, as the same principles apply. They were to draw two metal and two glass spheres, then one final eye combining the principles explored. I commend Art II for their efforts of pushing to perfection in practice! It points to the level they’re going to work on their final portraits! I’m predicting multiple major breakthrough accomplishments coming soon! More training units posting soon as they prepare for realistic portrait drawings.

(More will be updated to this post as students finish).

We’ve got a very patient and dedicated Art III student working in stippling technique for her first final of the school year. Stippling? Think dots, lots and lots of dots! So far so good Sophie M.!

A new school year is underway, and an outstanding group of young creatives have endured syllabus week. They’re eager to start training (Art I & Art II), and/or get back to creating (Art III-Art V)! For the next few weeks, students will be immersed in the training units and warm-up activities to reacquaint with their creative engines. It’ll be some time before new artworks begin posting. In the meantime, enjoy this virtual walkthrough of the 2025-2026 PHS Art Show! 1000+ projects last school year, and countless creative breakthroughs! Here’s a creative send-off to last year’s amazing group of artists as we welcome the new and/or returning ones into PHS Art Studio 129!

Create. Refine. Advance.
Onward Piketon!
