Students in 5th grade created a landscape painting inspired by the abstract and colorful style of Alma Thomas. They explored color mixing techniques and applied rhythmic, mosaic-like brushstrokes to capture movement and energy in their compositions. Through this process, students developed an understanding of how color, pattern, and texture can evoke emotion and bring their landscapes to life.

For the 7th-grade painting project, students explored color and texture in a bold and expressive way. Each student began by drawing their own self-portrait onto acetate. They then applied acrylic paint to the reverse side, working in layers to build depth and vibrancy. Once the painting was complete, students created textured paste paper, using various tools and techniques to add visual interest and contrast to their work. Finally, they added finishing touches with Posca markers, enhancing details and bringing their self-portrait to life. 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.                   |
