Advisory: This Friday we had a visiting author, Jordan Sonnenblick. Ask your kids about it. They went to the high school auditorium for the presentation. My club made valentines and finally Yuna and Jonah planted my paperwhites plant last week and have been measuring it's growth all week. It's amazing how fast the plant is growing.
6th Grade: We finished up building clay houses and I have put most of them in the kiln. I still have a few unfinished or too wet houses that can be fired next week. While we are waiting for the kiln, we started our crushed can sculptures that use recycled materials. I'll have more completed projects to show you next time:) If you could check PowerSchool with your kiddos to make sure they get their work uploaded to Canvas, I would appreciate the help from home. I sent an email out today, February 12th. The trimester is coming to a close on March 9th.
8th Grade: This week we took our field trip to the Brandywine River Museum of Art. Your children prepared by watching videos for 3 class periods. Thursday they went on a guided tour and saw them in real life. Many remarked how different they were in person. Hopefully, they enjoyed their visit. Sculpture class in the meantime has started their wire sculptures and Traditional has started their self portraits.
7th Grade: We started the quarter with printmaking instead of clay because like the rest of the world, clay was backordered. We are going to be doing a linocut with the theme of Chinese New Year or Dragons. Kids have completed their drawing. However, we are going to skip to our clay food and fashion project because we did finally receive our clay;) I have shown some of the prep drawings for that as well. When the clay is in the kiln, we will bounce back to linocuts.
