Imagine....
Our students create some wonderful pieces of art both in and out of class. Sharing work within this blog will allow family and friends both near and far to appreciate the hard work that takes place in art class. This is also a great spot for students to check in to make sure they know what the next sketchbook assignment is and to share ideas on their current assignments.
HB pencils
When I think of school I see pencils, lots of them.... Those brand new, freshly sharpened pencils seem to be calling out to students, "Pick me up, I want to know what I will say today". As the year goes on, the pencils begin to show the wear and tear of a mind determined to master new math problems, write creative stories and take a drawing and transform it into something totally different just by using a pencil.
What would happen if a pencil could be transformed into a new thing? Our first 11/12 level assignment this year takes that simple, yet important tool, and transforms it into something new...perhaps a butterfly, drawn using short pencils, long pencils, stubby, curved and tiny pencils. One thing will become clear though, the entire picture will come from using that simple yet so important tool...the pencil. I look forward to seeing what our students create.
