I hope that you Bulldogs had a great summer! It sure did fly past us! I had an eventful summer full of painting, boating and spending time with my family. The picture with this post is from a trip to Shackleford from this summer; that is my favorite place on earth! Even though I had a fun summer, I am so happy to be back with all of you. I can't wait to jump in some fun art projects with each of you!
We are off to a great start this nine weeks with our first projects. My diligent seventh graders are working hard on their first value project which involves drawing hands. Sixth grade students are starting a fun grid project which involves a bit of math. Eighth grade students are also working on value and composition while drawing objects which they brought in from home.
We will begin working in our visual journals this Wednesday. Visual journals are sketchbooks which we work in everyday. These blank page, spiral bound sketchbooks can be purchased from Walgreens, Staples, Walmart, or any other office supply store. I can't wait to see the creative things that the students come up with!
If you are searching for a rubric or a parent/student contract, please follow the link on the right sidebar to links and documents. I'm looking forward to working with all of you this nine weeks!
