Reminders

Don't forget to personalize your journal covers and get your back to school papers signed.  We are off to a great start and I look forward to discovering more about each of you through your journals.

welcome back 2012

I had an amazing summer and hope you all did as well. Welcome back to Middle School Art! I am looking forward to our year together.

Skyline Drive: REFI Grant trip!

25 students and 4 chaperones headed to Skyline Drive. We hiked to Dark Hollow Falls and spent an amazing day painting the sites!

texture and animals

7th graders created realistic pen drawings of animals. The focus was on achieving visual textures. Amazing results!

Patriotic collaboration

Students in Art 8 were given a 1.5" x 1.5" square from a photograph. They were to enlarge that small square to an 8" x 8" drawing copying shapes and values as exact as possible.

CAN YOU GUESS WHO??

contours and patterns

6th graders created drawings of still life items. Next they added two intersecting lines and filled in the resulting composition with different patterns. The results were beautiful!
