Feb. update!

Previous Art Students Need To Pick Up Their Art Tomorrow!! :)

6th grade has finished their projects on Op Art and they are up hanging in the halls. They have started a project on the poem Crazy Hair. They should be done in the next week!

7th grade finished their cubism and Medieval tapestries projects. They have just started a lesson on African masks and the role they play within different tribe's cultures.

8th grade finished a project about color. Students explored how they would explain colors using all the senses except sight. They created poetry and art based on their writing. 8th graders are currently learning about the Chinese New Year and creating large paper dragons like those used during the dragon dance in the Lantern Festival.
