WHY ARE WE HERE?
Our mission as a class is to develop our visual abilities and apply them as a tool for achievement across the school curriculum. We will learn how all cultures, commerce, and walks of life whether local or global can communicate to one another through the language of art. We will do this through exploration of different art mediums, tools, and skills we develop on the way.
Projects Under Construction 8th Grade 'My Gallery'- Construction of a miniture Art Gallery using 3 Elements and Principles of Design with documentation of Principles used. 7th Grade 'Monsterous Construction'- Students are creating a monster for the sequal to Monsters, Inc. They will practice story board thumbnail construction, write a short story about their monster, and then bring them to life with paper mache. 6th Grade 'Clay Vessels'- 6th Graders are working with air dry clay and will create a raku oxidation style effect with paint.
