Hello!
I am very excited to be teaching 7th and 8th grade this year! Take a look below to learn a little about what we are learning in Art class.
Google Classroom is the best place to check for all up-to-date lessons. For more resources and information about lessons I use a blog to post resources. Please use the the link to below to view.

Two different experiences of art happen in this rotation. Students study the origins of Surrealism and how surreal techniques are used in movies, photography, drawing, collage and painting.
Students will also be creating a surreal portrait using clay. This a new project to 7th grade which will explore hand building techniques including using a slab roller, pinch-pull and creating textures with carving tools.

Students are studying contemporary artists that work in Pottery. Students will be creating their own bisque stamps to use in their pottery. Students will be making a creative mug that explores using a slab and template to construct.
Printmaking
8th graders will also be learning about printmaking in one elective. Students will create a linocut and experiment with a variety of printmaking techniques. Students are studying contemporary artists that incorporate and aspect of printmaking into their work.
