End of the Month of October

We are winding up the end of October and have completed some new projects to share with you.  Seventh grade art has been working on African Kente Cloth Paintings and Eighth grade art has been working on a mixed media project titled Autumn Starburst.

African Kente Cloth








We have had a few weeks that one class or the other has missed an art class period, so I have some "Legs in Shoes" projects from one 7th grade class and one 8th grade class.  
This project is a mixed media composition using photos of shoes, sharpie, and glue.  We liked the results!

Talented Middle School Art Students

7th Grade Art is currently learning about the Art of Africa.  Last week we learned about the African Kente Cloth.  The students are painting an African Kente Cloth in Tempera Paint.

We will have some photos to share next week!

8th Grade completed their Raven paintings last week.  This week they are working on a design project that has to do with color, the season (autumn), shapes, and negative space.  Can't wait to post the results.

Here are some examples of the Raven paintings from last week.
