Still Life in Progress

Check out what's been going on in 8th grade art! We've been learning about the elements of design and the art of Still Life.

Visual Journals

Instead of the normal sketchbooks this year, we are creating visual journals in 8th grade art. In the journals, we incorporate writing, drawing, collage, paint and more. Students have the opportunity to experiment and express. The beginning results are quite amazing! Keep a look out for more photos of student work throughout the year.

Graffiti...Is it art or vandalism?

We have had an exciting start to the school year here at JFH. We began our discussions in art with the topic "What is art?" We focused on looking at graffiti that exists in our culture and had some great discussions about whether we believe that graffiti is art or not. In the end, we created our own graffiti on our portfolios which will store each person's art work for the year. At the end of the year, we will have an excellent collection of all the things we have learned and created this year
