Art Update
Seventh grade artists have completed their skill building assignments and begun their independent projects. We are using a TAB curriculum (Teaching for Artistic Behavior), which involves a great deal of student choice. Assignments are based on four big ideas: Identity, A Social Issue, Heroes, and Storytelling. Artists use these big ideas as the springboard for creating an artwork that communicates their thoughts, feelings and experiences related to them. They choose the media to use, the methods and techniques to employ, the size and format of the artwork and the message they want to convey. The art studio is buzzing with creativity, with everyone working on something different. There is much brainstorming, experimentation, creative play and production going on everyday and it’s really exciting!
Our end-of-the-semester ART SHOW is scheduled for January 25, 2019, from 5:30-8:00pm in the West Commons. More information will be coming soon on our website, on Twitter and in invitations sent home with students. Everyone is invited and we hope to see you there!
