Metal tooling

Metal tooling (repousse or raised work) by the 8th graders.....These bas relief sculptures created from sheets of colored aluminum and brass incorporated many Elements of Art including, texture, line, shape, and space. Once they finished these metal pieces they were mounted onto a thick border of colored paper onto which the students extended their tooling designs out with colored pencils.  The finished pieces are just gorgeous...one of my favorite projects of the year thus far!
