2-D 7th Grade
Students in the 7th grade 2-D course recently completed their surreal compositions. They studied the history of Surrealism and used a mixed media approach to create a surreal composition. They combined collage and painting for this composition.
We have started their final unit, which is printmaking. The first type of print that they created was a stencil. Some of these stencils will also be incorporated into the artwork for the Fall Fling auction. Students will look at the artwork of Kathe Kollwitz and Barbara Kruger. Through an examination of the big ideas used by these two artists, they will begin to look at the ways that printmaking can be used as one of the most efficient art media for sending a message to many people. Students will develop their own messages and create a linoleum block print.

6th Grade Visual Arts
The 6th grade visual arts students have been working on the final portion of their life-drawing unit. They have learned to identify and use linear and atmospheric perspective. Students had the opportunity to work outside for several days so that they could demonstrate their knowledge of perspective through a landscape composition.
The final unit of the 6th grade visual arts course will focus on the ways that artists convey mood. Students will look at the ways that artists manipulate the elements of design to create a specific mood. They will also be creating some mood characters of their own and making a three-dimensional mask of one of those characters.
