February 5th

8th Grade Art

8th Graders are working on a unit in DRAWING.  This week they completed drawings of flowers in OIL PASTELS.  This is a project that we do every single year and we do that because they always turn out to be such good works of art.


















Last week we had a short week due to school being closed for snow.  I did not get to meet with 7th Grade girls.  The 7th grade boys created Mixed Media Valentines.  
On a piece of paper they wrote out a message of love in calligraphy ink.  They cut out the message in a heart shape.  They painted a background for their heart and glued it onto the painted background.
These two were selected from my favorites.  I love doing mixed media with the students.  For some reason, they are so brave and use their imaginations more in this discipline than in some of the others.

Who says Valentines Day has to cost money?  I love these handmade ones!!!
