We are in our second week of school and there is a lot going on in the art room. The 6th graders are getting comfortable in their new routine and have turned in their first project. This was an introductory project using their name and the Elements of Art. They are now working on a multi-step project that all started with realistic self portrait. This self portrait will be turned into a one line drawing, using Pablo Picasso's 'one-liners' as our inspiration. Using the one line portrait we will create a block for prints and 6th graders will be introduced to printmaking. |
The 7th graders first project was due yesterday and it also focused on the Elements of Art, but also included a contour line drawing of their shoe. These will be posted on the website by the end of the week for viewing. Their next project will be focused on the fairly new art form of Zentangles. We will be focusing on different patterns and repetition of lines and shapes, which we will combine into the animal of their choice.
The 8th grade art classes were introduced to Optical Illusion Art or Op Art. They are now working to create their own Op Art pieces. Out goal is to finish these by the middle of next week and they will be posted by the end of next week. 8th grade are also responsible for completing a sketchbook assignment every week. These are posted in the classroom and they have one week to complete each assignment.
All students are required to bring a sketchbook or sketchpad this year to art class. This has been a great way for students to keep materials together and work on projects or sketches outside of class time.
So excited to have all your students in my class! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me. The link is at the top right of the page or can be found on Skyward.
Thanks!
