Students have finished their Heraldry Projects and they really did a great job while learning a bit about their family's heritage. I've learned a bunch more about their hobbies as well. Ask your student to share their project and their paragraph they wrote about which of their countries they hope to visit someday.
We just introduced the "Crushed Can" project and I'm impressed with their creative ideas so far.
8th Grade Sculpture (And Study Hall)
Students have finished their cardboard sculptures and they are on display in the main hallway. We had a battle of tanks, some folks did characters or their initials. Here's a pick of the display and some in progress shots. Ask your child to show you their reflection video. Next up is the Wyeth Wire project. We have watched some videos about local artists as well as the Wyeth artists. Students are choosing their artist to emulate and will begin to construct their armature for the wire sculpture.
7th Grade Art
This quarter we started with printmaking and the theme is sugar skulls. We are finishing up printing this week. Your students were very creative and are really enjoying the process. I hope they share their prints with you. Ask to see their MyStory for more details. They should have 4 final prints: Make your own paper (collage, painted or splattered), a modified print, a black/white print and a color print. Next up is clay!
