Students were introduced to both 1 and 2 point perspective. They had to complete a sketch of each then choose their final perspective. They had to create a city using their chosen perspective and include: 7 buildings, 15 details (windows, doors, signs, roads, etc.) and a surprising detail you wouldn't normally see in a cityscape.

Students worked to make totem sculptures using paper. They had to choose an animal to make out of paper and then add 3D elements. They turned out awesome. Check them out below:
Students learned about Optical Illusion Art or Op Art. They had to work with tools and use precision as they completed their checkered illusion. Images from both classes are below: 2nd hour:8th hour:
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! Mrs. Besser 8th graders were placed in groups and together brainstormed a new soft drink. Students individually had to come up with a logo, can/bottle, and a billboard to advertise their new product.
