our students became the celebrities, choosing books that they would recommend to their friends. They decorated around their photos to create eye-catching posters to be hung in the library.
7th grade Art Studio classes have signed up for art mini-courses. We will be changing courses every term, signing up for a concentrated study of a particular art subject. This session, students are working with clay, starting out the year with pinch pot animals. By making two pinch pots and sealing them together, students are able to make larger hollow forms without fear of them exploding in the kiln.
8th grade Art Studio is working on creating an Elements and Principals mural for the art room. Students worked in teams to develop ways to describe the elements and principles without words. As small groups paint the murals, other students are beginning to work on independent projects, focusing on the type of art they are interested in and want to learn more about.
