Spring into Summer Art
My students have created art for both spring and summer. 6th grade students created art for our main hallway that is all about spring weather. 8th grade students created original surfboard art for the art hallway. Only a few weeks until summer!

Abstract Art
8th grade students learned about abstract expressionist painters Jackson Pollock and Helen Frankenthaler this week. Students then created art using similar methods used by those
artists. Students said they loved this painting process and wanted
to do more. That is always good to hear and I'm impressed by their work too!

Painting New Planets
6th grade students are learning about planets in their science classes. So in art class they used the fluid painting technique with various colors of tempera paint. At the beginning of each day we discussed the inner and outer planets and the asteroid belt that divides them. We also discussed the planets made mostly of gases and those with more solid rock. They wanted to make more than one so I'm proud of their interest and enthusiasm during this project.

Portrait Drawing
Students in 8th grade learned how to draw portraits in January. Students could draw themselves or a celebrity using pencil. Good to know that today's generation still loves Bob Ross!

Weaving in Winter
Winter weather is here and it is getting cold outside. 8th
grade students learned how to weave this December. Students learned about the
various techniques used when weaving and applied those into their art projects.
Students amazed me with their dedication to this assignment. I think they
really enjoyed it because the classroom was very quiet.
