6th Grade Art:
We are wrapping up the clay house projects and have started our final project... crushed can art. Please send in a box (shoe box is perfect) to take home finished houses.
8th Grade Art:
Lots of exciting things happening in art for 8th grade. We went on a field trip to the Brandywine River Museum to end our art history unit. The kids were spectacular and had a lot of fun. Ask them how they enjoyed the trip and what is their favorite piece of art. Traditional art finished up portraits and koi fish. They started color theory where they pick a famous painting, redraw it and apply color theory and drawing techniques into 3 main zones. Sculpture has finished up cardboard and is now working on found object sculptures. Mr. Marshall, who is a found object artist, came to show us some of his creations and techniques for assembling sculptures. The kids loved having a guest artist who is also one of our teachers.
7th Grade Art:
We have finished glazing our food/fashion clay projects and they are starting to come out of the kiln looking completely fabulous! Meanwhile, kids are back to the printmaking Holi project and are nearing the end. Most have started cutting their lino plates and will be ready to start printing soon. Please send in a box (shoe box is perfect) to take home finished clay projects.
