Week 2 in the art room went great! As always, all words in blue are links. 7th/8th Graders... Continued working on their Identity Collage project. This project is due Tuesday, September 17. Directions and reflections can be found under the 7th/8th Grade 2D Assignments tab. They also began a new unit this week looking at the artwork of Gustav Klimt and the Art Nouveau movement of the 1890's. Below is the video they watched about The Golden Art of Gustav Klimt. Click on the image of the video to watch. Next week they will begin working on their Klimt inspired gold scratch art project 6th Graders...
Finished up their Illustrate Name Tag project. I was impressed by their creativity and focus when working! This project is due Tuesday 9/17. Directions and reflections can be found under the 6th Grade Assignment Tab. Students also began their unit on the Elements of Art. Before we began students took a pretest I created using the website Socrative.com. A digital version of the Elements of Art Scholastic article we read is on the 6th Grade Assignments Tab. Ask your students to name the 6 Elements of Art! Just for Fun... I am encouraging students to create a digital picture collage all about them! Parents you can do this do too! The details for this assignments can be found in the blog post below. The past week the focus of all class projects has been you! I want to take this concept one step further with an optional fun assignment! Create a photo collage that represents you! You will need a smart phone to so this project. I challenge you to take photos of people, places, things, whatever represents who you are! Obviously these photos must be appropriate for school. The next step is to create a photo collage using an app like pic collage. Have fun with this! The possibilities are endless! Finally submit your collage to Mrs. Winters One of 3 ways: 1. Via twitter by using our twitter handle @Art_MSE. 2. Email it to [email protected]. 3. Post a link to your collage below. There is no due date. You can do this anytime this quarter The first week back at MSE was GREAT! I am so lucky to have so many awesome new students!
I have been extremely impressed with 7th/8th graders dedication when working on their Identity Collage project. This project is all about them and tt has been fun getting to know each student. Not only is their artwork outstanding but they have been doing such a great job staying on task in class. The 6th graders seem to be adjusting nicely to MSE. They have been learning art room procedures what it means to SOAR in the art room. I have learned all of their names and look forward to getting to know them better. Their first project is an Illustrated Name Tag and so far they have done a great job following directions. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK EAGLES!!! Parents: Please fill out the PARENT CONTACT FORM. This can be found under the ABOUT tab above. Project directions are posted under tabs above. Reflections will be posted early next week.
