Hello Class, We are going to begin our graffiti name portfolios this week! First, make sure that you have brought your class materials. Next, turn in your parent signatures from the syllabus. Finally, we will watch a video about how to draw your names using graffiti fonts and a layout. You will draw your name using three different fonts, then choose your favorite to draw with color for your portfolio. Your practice drawing is due this Wednesday. We will spend the rest of the week making portfolios. There is no homework this week, so enjoy!

Hello Class, Thank you for a great first week of school! We are going to go over more procedures for the art room this week, clean up people, and we will assign lockers and portfolio spaces. Then, we will begin our first project, which is a graffiti portfolio. We will learn how to draw graffiti style lettering, and we will learn about the British street artist Banksy. We will then design our portfolios using graffiti lettering and a unique background. Your practice drawing is due this Friday. There is no homework this week. Homework will begin next week.
