Summer Art Enrichment

The art department is offering extra credit for students who complete one or more of the art enrichment summer assignments that are posted here. Students who complete an assignment must turn it in during the fall of 2022. Each assignment completed will earn the student an extra participation grade on their art average. Semester one students will receive the extra points on their term 1 grade (and term 2 if two assignments are completed). Semester two students will receive the extra points on their term 3 grade (and term 4 if two assignments are completed).

Students of all grades are eligible to complete these assignments. They can choose from any category listed below. Students must bring in the artwork, or take a picture of it that they can share with their art teacher in the fall.

3D/Sculpture Prompts:

1. Fashion/Jewelry Design: Make something that you can wear! You can sew, knit, crochet, or sculpt!

2. Found Object Sculptures: Make a sculpture out of objects in your house, take a photo of your final piece! (This is a great way to get school credit for fort building!)

3. Sculpting: Look up a recipe for salt dough or at home air dry clay! Create a sculpture of your favorite animal out of the dough! (If you don't want to sculpt an animal, you can try sculpting something else, too!)

Digital/ Mixed-Media Prompts:

1. Become an Animator: Create a flip book (animation) with your choice of subject and theme.

2. Stop-Motion Film: Use your phone or tablet to design and direct a stop motion animation movie (there are many different apps available to help you get started)!

3. Get Outside: Create a colorful chalk mural outside and take a picture of it when you are done!
