Zoetrope
My students are making zoetropes this week. A zoetrope is an example of a pre-film animation device. This is just one example of many that my students have made. They had to carefully plan each drawing so that the illusion of movement was created. They really enjoyed seeing their ideas come to life. Perhaps some will go on to study film and become future animators.

3D Printing
We now have a 3D pen for printing works of art. The Art Club experimented with it first by creating 3D hearts for Valentine's Day. Stay tuned for more creations as we use this cool technology more in art.

Thinking About Spring
Students are thinking about spring weather and painting colorful watercolor landscapes. Twenty 16 by 20 frames were donated to the art program so these 8th grade paintings will be on exhibit in our main hallway soon. We have some talented painters!
