Well, the new school year is underway, and we are off to a great start!

The art 1 students have created paper boxes decorated in the style of Japanese Notan designs and are now beginning contour drawing. A contour line defines the edges and details of an object. Today, students learned that they already know how to draw - they have to learn how to see! Ask them about it!


Advanced Art students have tiles waiting for the kiln. The tiles will be hung on the wall of the art department - they will be a permanent part of this space! They have begun creating the digital portfolio which will show off their amazing work and prove that they are ready for Design 2 next year. They are also working with contour - hands right now, and some very personal self-portraits next week! Check back for pictures!

Also, the Advanced Art students will be heading to ArtPrize on October 2nd. Make sure permission slips are in by October 1st! We will see the top 10 and possibly my entry (assuming it doesn't make top 10;).
