7th grade Line Drawings

Seventh graders worked hard (and long) at creating these line drawings. They learned about the descriptive quality of lines, light and shade, and analogous colors.  I love how they all look combined together and we've been getting lots of compliments about them. 

6th Grade Dia de los Muertos Celebrity (or Character) Skeletons! And welcoming Mrs. Styza!

The sixth grade art classes did a fantastic job of making their Dia de los Muertos celebrity skeletons.  They studied the human skeleton and used models to understand how bones moved.  The objective was to create a character that we could identify based on just a few simple details like hair, accessories, clothes, or poses.  I love how different each one turned out.  

In other art news, we have a fantastic addition to our art room.  Mrs. Samantha Styza is a student teacher from UWM.  She will be working with us for the remainder of the semester.  We're very excited to have her here and look forward to some awesome lessons with her.
