Any Sound of Music fans out there?? Well, this isn't good night, but it is good-bye for the 2015-2016 school year. It's been a busy year. . .productive . . .a learning experience for us all. I thought I would publish one last post to show what we've been doing to close out the school year.
High School spent the last couple of weeks working on Symbolic Self-Portraits. To start with, we traced the kids' shadows onto a large sheet of paper (thanks to my old overhead I stashed). Anyone else remember doing this in elementary? Those black construction paper silhouettes? Anyway, after tracing the profiles, the kids filled their heads with drawings of a variety of things (likes, dislikes, future goals, etc.) and added color. Here are some of the results:
The junior high kids did something similar. They created a summer bucket list. The idea was to fill a sand bucket with things they want to do this summer. Here are some of the results:
Thank you for visiting, and please check in next year to see what new things we get into in the art room!
Have a great summer!
