Advisory is getting along great. They are crazy, sweet, quiet and truly like each other. We've started our “First 10” during Hawk time which is either GMM or reading a book for pleasure for the first 10 minutes. Kiddos signed up for clubs that start this Friday, October 8th. And... we survived picture day. There wasn't a class photo so we took one in the hallway:)
6th Grade started out with clay warmups. They chose from creating a pinch pot baby, bathing beauty or a tray. When they mastered the 3 building techniques (pinch pot, coil and slab) we moved onto clay houses. They are looking marvelous!!! Each house needed to have 5 unique building qualities and boy did the kids get creative! All the clay is in the kiln and should be ready for color next week.
We've since started a 2D project, Heraldry, in the meantime. We've finished up our thumbnails or idea sketches this week. More to come on those.
7th Grade started out with clay. It was so great to get back into school and have our students in the room together creating, getting messy and collaborating. They did some research for their plate of food ideas and did some great drawings. This week we are glazing the projects. Stay tuned…
8th Grade Sculpture started out with cardboard sculptures. Students chose to create either a cup method letter/logo or hand build something. Check out how they paper machéd their sculptures or built their fabulous sculptures. All the kiddos did a great job! After cardboard we moved onto our art history unit focusing on the Wyeth family and other Brandywine area artists. This week we started drawings for our choice projects. More to come…
