New School Year 2008-2009

Officially  classes began on Aug 11th. So far all my art classes have been excellent. I have a great group of students in each grade level and I am looking forward to having a wonderful semester in Art. Last year our school made AYP and I am anticipating that our school will do it again. Art this year will focus on a global awarness as well as a self awareness in the art we creative.

7th grade Mandala

7th Grade is creating sand mandalas based on the traditional Tibetan art from. Each student will create a radial balanced design that focuses on their goals and future plans. Their art work is influenced on traditional Mandalas and the understanding of the wholeness and enlightened path to their future. Each student created a circular design and will color their work with sand and watercolors.

This project emphasizes line shape form color and historical counts for early mandalas.

6th Grade

6th grade is working on aboriginal art from

Australia

. We will be creating a painting that is in the traditional aboriginal form. The art works will be centered on Australian animals that the students have drawn. Each art work will be painted using tiny dots to create a whole finished product.

We will be emphasizing Line shape and color in this lesson.

Homework

I do not assign homework in art class but I do expect for you to read every night. As part of the Accelerated Reader Program I want you to accomplish your reading goals. Read every night for twenty to thirty minutes.  If you have sketches that you have done out side of class and bring them in I will offer extra credit.

If you miss a day in art, what do you do?

If you are absent due to an illness or school situation you may make up the missed day by handing in a sketch. These sketches will be counted towards your grade and should be worked on while you are away.
