Our 8th-grade students explored the world of Pop Art by creating a close-up, cropped view of a candy wrapper of their choice. They discussed emphasis and graphic design elements throughout the unit. After spending time sketching drafts in their sketchbooks, students completed a final version on canvas board using acrylic paints.

For the 7th grade painting unit, students created a monochromatic silhouette painting. Starting with a pure hue, they developed a wide range of tints, tones, and shades for the background. They then chose a silhouette to paint in the foreground using acrylics, resulting in a striking contrast.                   In the 6th-grade art class, students delved into the exploration of color theory and mixing, experimenting with various hues to craft vibrant and harmonious compositions. Initially, they generated all the colors on the color wheel using only the primary colors. Next, they selected a distinctive shape for their color wheel and cut it out of the painted squares. Finally, they assembled the pieces by gluing them together to form their final color wheel. In this unit, our fourth and fifth graders focused on the art elements of line, shape, and pattern. They learned to identify and create various geometric and organic patterns. For their final project, they composed designs using these patterns on metal. This technique, knowns as repousse, involves pressing into the metal to create raised lines on the opposite side. Afterwards, they extended the patterns onto the frame using metallic Sharpies. |
