Wrapping up the first quarter...

Greetings!!

We are wrapping up the first quarter! It is hard to believe how time flies.  I enjoyed my first rotation of 7th grade students and I will miss them as they begin their new rotations on 11/5.  On this penultimate day of 7th grade art, students packed up their art projects and took them home.  Students brought home several projects: Color Wheels, Figure Value Paintings, Perspective Paintings, Clay Fantasy Animals, and Paper-cut Mola Designs.  If your child didn't have a project returned to him/her, I will send it home on Monday along with the sketchbook.  Please ask your child about their art experience!!  Here are a few of the beautiful clay projects that went home today

Seventh grade artwork on display at the SBO.

8th grade students made self-portraits using a grid method.  They made a patterned background to show rhythm and movement.  Inspired by the artwork of Kehinde Wiley.

7th graders made color wheels by mixing their own paint colors from just red, yellow, and blue paint and cutting shapes from the colors.  They also selected each color's complement for the detail.

Seventh graders drew a pose-able art "dummy" in three different positions that suggested movement.  They drew concentric lines around each dummy to further the idea of movement.  Then they mixed of tints (added white) to one pure hue for each rectangle of their paper.
