Hello families!
Now that the 4th term has started, we are winding down in the Art Room.
5th grade is starting a new project this week on Ancient China's Terracotta Soldiers. We are utilizing one of my favorite art techniques - relief printmaking - to create miniature armies of our own.
6th grade will be finishing up their African masks (a term-long project) in the next two weeks. These masks are seriously looking AWESOME! Students are adding finishing touches by creating designs with paint and additives, like shells, beans, yarn, and raffia.
7th and 8th grade students are so close to completing their multi-step Cubist portraits. Students are using their understanding of color mixing to create tints and shades to try to realistically paint their abstract drawings.
I am looking forward to starting new projects with the 6th and 7th/8th grade classes as May approaches.
