Quarter 3 has been flying by and the art classes have been keeping quite busy!
3rd grade finished their lovely Pablo Picasso portraits which are displayed in the Main Building stairwells. Currently they are working on Robert Indiana's LOVE inspired paintings. They are exploring paint mixing and creating their own designs on their Wish for the World! 4th grade artists are finishing up some detailed Presidential Campaign Books, starring each author & illustrator as the next president. They are also learning about book making arts. 5th grade students have just completed some amazing Promotional Peace Posters using symbols they created based on the words: Peace, Justice, Independence, Hope, Equality, and Respect. They learned about artists such as Shepard Fairey and Keith Haring.
The upper grades are exploring some new materials. 6th grade artists are creating landscapes using charcoal and chalk pastel. A brand new class introduced this semester is the 7th & 8th grade Art 2. They are collaborating with Mr. Dupree's General Music class and learning all about Video Games with Art & Music. Stay tuned for project updates and photos!
Ms. Wilkin's 109 classes recently completed Smyser's first 3-D installation located on the first floor in the Main Building. The artists learned about skyscrapers, architecture, and painting techniques. Students worked hard over the course of several weeks to create a 3D sculpture of an urban city plan. Take a look!
