Final Projects

As we near the end of the first marking period, students are trying to complete their final projects. 


1st hour (6th Grade) - Painting patterns on their Pysanky Egg Sculptures. Ask your child what a Pysanky egg is.
2nd hour (8th Grade) - Shading a portrait after studying facial proportions and shading techniques.  Several of the students are working in teams to replicate a portrait from a magazine
3rd/6th hours (7th Grade) - Shading half of a portrait after studying facial proportions and shading techniques.  Each student chose a picture of a person from a magazine.  After cutting the picture in two pieces, he/she glued one half to a paper.  Now they are drawing the remaining half and using shading     techniques to replicate that half.

5th hour (mixed population) - Shading half of a picture.  Students chose either a picture of an animal or a person from a magazine, cut the picture in two, and are now drawing the remaining half of the picture using shading techniques.

This coming week:

All students will be completing a post-test on Wednesday, November 2.  We will be reviewing for this on Tuesday. 


The 1st hour class will be working studying shading techniques
The 2nd/3rd/5th/6th hour classes will be creating an abstract sculpture from cardboard.
