7th grade

Seventh grade students are continuing their "Seeing Yourself" unit with a symbolic representation of themselves. This may take the form of either an assemblage, 3-D, or a collage, 2-D, symbolic self-portrait. Unlike the previous self-portrait, these will not look like the artists. Instead, they will rely upon the language of symbols to tell about who the artist really is.
Students are using a variety of recycled materials to create these portraits.
Many of the monochromatic self-portrait paintings are on display here at the school.

8th grade Big Idea series

8th grade visual arts students have started a series of projects united by a big idea. The ideas were student generated and range from love to global warming.
Students will decide on three different ways to visually explore their topic and create a written plan for each of the three works of art.

Sketchbook due dates update

The final week of term 1 is a bit later than I originally anticipated. As a result, I am adjusting the final term 1 sketchbook check due dates.
7th grade students will turn their books in on October 27th and 29th.
8th grade will also turn theirs in on the 29th.
