Finally logged in! Can't keep up with Mrs. Davis' prolific postings, but have been revising ParkerArt for classroom use. The 6th graders are now working on a thematic project based on trees, and the newly learned Art Elements. Each student is creating their own "Element-tree" that focuses on using a variety of art element types and using compositional balance and movement. Kids are choosing their own media, which lets me learn more about them as artists and see what their experience and preferences are. The 7th graders are learning about art from medieval Europe in preparation for a unit on Renassaince art, proportion, and perspective. We are using the computer lab to view great online resources and will be creating gothic figure sculptures from paper mache. More later...time to go to school!
