Another Post

We have so much to share since our last blog post.

First of all, I will tell you what we are currently working on so that you can look forward to the art work that is ahead.

7th Grade Art is learning about the Illuminated Manuscript of the Middle Ages.  The project that they will be working on before break and after break is an illuminated cross.  We will be using metallic gold paint to do the illumination.

8th Grade is currently learning about Printmaking and completed string prints last week.  Next week, they will be creating a styro-print using styrofoam as the block.

This was such a fun project!!!


8th Grade 
STRING PRINTS
 









Directions for string prints.  Sketch a face from your imagination in pencil on cardboard.  Put glue over lines that were sketched and then add string.  Let dry and then put printing ink or glue on the surface of the template and use like a big stamp.  Make sure to press down evenly on your template.

SEE YOU SOON!!!
