Did you say "when can I use my color pencils?" Well, you can use them this week! We will start a project using our color pencils this week. We will be making a color and blending chart as well as drawing a still life that will let the students use color. Using color pencils is about layers, so the students will be learning about how to do just that. Should be a good time! Remember our $20 class fee deadline of September 6th! I've already placed the first order, so we will have pastels and several different kinds of paper soon!
Hey everyone! We will work on contours this week. I really want my students to understand the transitions from light to dark and how we can use mark making to make our drawings stand out. If you have not turned in your class fee of $20, please do so by September 6th. Students who have not turned in the fee by that date will have their names turned in for class reassignment and will be placed into a new elective class.
Hey everyone! I'm very excited about this new year in our art class! Last year we had the class with both 7th and 8th graders in one class and this year we have been able to split them up and I think that is for the best. The 7th graders will be up first and we will start the year by going over the very basics of drawing and some art history. My plan for the course over the semester is for the 7th graders to have a basic understanding of composition, how to handle tonal value and begin to understand other media like Conte Crayon and charcoal. Aside from the art supplies for the class, which should run around $25-30 or maybe less, there is the $20 fee for the class. If the fee is not paid, the student is removed from the class and is placed in another elective where no fee is required. The $20 goes to supplies that we will use in the class that I can purchase for much cheaper and the kind of supplies that I buy need to be very specific. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
