Seven More Weeks of School

We are getting closer to the end of the school year, but middle school art students are still very busy in the art room.
7th Grade is going to learn about gesture drawing next week.
8th Grade is working on Fashion Design Illustration.  

Below are photographs of the 8th Grade Self Portraits that we finished before Spring Break.

Can you tell who is who?



















Here are some photos of the 8th grade students working on their new assignment.  They are working from Fashion Magazines and are learning to create Fashion Design Illustrations.  They have the choice of using color pencils, watercolor paint and markers or a combination of all three.

7th Grade 

7th Grade Students learned about textile art and fiber art last week.  We had scrap pieces of cloth that we dyed in various colors.  We added beads to the strips of cloth and hung them from a Chinese chop stick.  The fiber art projects turned out great!










8th Grade

In 8th Grade Art we are painting.  This past week, we learned about POP ART.  Students created paintings based on pop art comic paintings.

I really love these paintings and think the students put forth a great effort.




















7th Grade will be working on clay fish over the next week and 8th grade will begin self portraits.
SEE YOU SOON!
