Late January

Despite the freezing temperatures and all of the illnesses that are going around the Triad, we are still producing outstanding art work at HPCA!

7th Grade Art

Seventh grade art just completed mixed media collage. We used either cars or flowers as the main piece and then surrounded the main piece with vintage book pages, and retro paper.  We then sponged on layers of tempera paint.  I think the results are fantastic!!!
It was such a fun and easy project.
















Coming soon.....

TAG EXHIBITION AND MORE

Last night, I attended the Theatre Art Galleries Middle School Exhibition.  I was so proud of our students and their work.  The art work looked great and I think was the best wall at the show and the refreshments were good too.

Here are a couple photos from the exhibition.





Congratulations to all the students who showed work there.
