Art Class

Welcome to art class!!  6th grade classes are working on abstract designs.  Next week we will begin working on origami books.

7th and 8th grade are completing their portfolio designs.  Our next project will be learning how to draw faces in proportion.

Classes have gotten off to a great start.  I'm looking forward to a productive nine weeks.

Sticks and Stones

Seventh and Eighth grade students have been working on their native American shaman sticks.  We have selected our sticks, scraped and sanded them. They are now being painted and decorated. I hope the bus  drivers will allow them on the busses.  They are beautiful.

Sixth grade has just finished the masks, made of copper or brass .  This project  showed how to do metal embossing.  They've done a great job.  Masks will be coming home soon.
