Here are some of the latest pictures of where the Mural Club left off for last school year on our staircase mural. #brianbachisin #rrghstart #RRGHST

I look forward to completing this mural with new freshmen recruits and the amazing students that joined us for the 2014-15 school year. I also look forward to discussing upcoming ideas that students generate for the club's next mural projects for 2015-16. #brianbachisin #rrghstart #RRGHST

 I also look forward to discussing upcoming ideas that students generate for the club's next mural projects for 2015-16. We have way too many white walls to team up on. Stay tuned for meeting dates. #brianbachisin #rrghstart #RRGHST

Self Portraits complete

Exhibited here are some freshmen self portraits from 2014-15 that I found to use the seven elements of art that we have been practicing effectively.  This is just a few of the many styles students worked in.  #selfportraits #brianbachisin #RRGHST 

Student Self-Portraits

During our Portraiture Unit, students spend time examining the work of artist Chuck Close, sketching facial anatomy, and learning how to create a grid system over an image using coordinates.  This interdisciplinary work incorporates various skills used in most subject areas.   Careful discussion and planning with my grade team which consists of math, social studies, science, health, and english teachers,  allows me to create such valuable units of study connected to all disciplines.  Above are some works in progress.  #brianbachisin #bachisin #rrghstart

Mural Club Progress 2015

More progress on the background of the staircase mural during the months of April and May.   #brianbachisin #bachisin #rrghstart

Students are incorporating their knowledge of landscape/ cityscape and abstract art to create a vibrant, dynamic, unique background.  #brianbachisin #bachisin #rrghstart

Collaborative Groupwork RRGHST

RRGHST Freshmen students worked in groups during Studio Art 1 class to create each panel consisting of a variety of mediums including linoleum prints, still life drawings, painting, and collage.

These mixed media murals of various panels now hang permanently throughout the halls of Richard R. Green High School of Teaching at 7 Beaver Street in Lower Manhatten.
