Advanced Art T-shirts

Advanced Art students are silk-screening superman-themed NRMS t-shirts at lunch! Students created logos and made the silk screen. Money raised will be used to buy special art supplies and fund art field trips.

Art 1 Sgraffito Bowls

The sgraffito bowls have come out of the kiln! Art 1 students learned how to throw slabs and decorate with sgraffito. We studied Greek, Native American, and Central American clay pieces and learned about the narrative purpose these pieces served. Students then created bowls that tell stories from their lives; for example; their first trip to Starbucks, sneaking down to the kitchen for midnight ice cream, or learning to play the violin. The bowls will be in the showcase until Winter Break. Many will be going home to be holiday gifts!
