This week we are concentrating on using scratchboard and scratching our various objects such as animals, letters and objects. The students must think of using their knowledge of value, but must think in reverse! 
Students are exploring poetry by creating a beautifully painted watercolor paper and writing in an "I AM" poem! 
We have art on display at the University of Memphis! If you are in the area please feel free to stop by and check out art from area Art teachers as well as their students. 
My 6th grade is celebrating the art of Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald. We are making portraits using the grid system and a little assistance from their original image. So far they are looking beautiful! 
We are moving onto the notorious Perspective. Students will create a perspective based art project that will help them learn about space and depth in an artwork!

Welcome back to school!!!

Can you believe that we are already done with one semester? We are still working on our radial designs in the 6th and 7th grades, but our 8th graders are experimenting with watercolor. Please check back for a preview of the upcoming assignments. 

Our next project is utilizing our knowledge of Color Theory by creating a Radial Name design. Students will fold a square piece of paper and will radiate their names 8 times and will color it using warm and cool colors. 

Thanksgiving Break!!!

Thanksgiving Break is upon us and we are in the process of finishing our Yayoi Kusama projects. When we return from break we will be focusing on COLOR and using colored pencils to expand our coloring abilities.
