Full steam ahead!

ART I

This week in Art I we are continuing our unit on VALUE and are working on collage torn paper portraits. They have painted a value scale and are using that scale to create a good range of VALUE in their portraits. Finished products to come!


7th grade practiced their realistic drawing
 and shading techniques 
7th Grade "painting with paper" 




Humanitites - 11th Grade

Here is a quick look at just a couple of the projects we have completed so far. We kicked off the school year with a unit on Graffiti and discussed elements of graffiti. We also looked at the history and different "styles" of graffiti. After getting some inspiration from New York street artists, the students were able to create their own solar system done entirely out of spray paint. They turned out AWESOME!







Journalism 

A new year means a new Journalism team! We will soon begin writing feature stories soon and you can follow our blog updates on THE PATRIOT POST. Here is the link to our blog ---------> The Patriot Post

On September 25th we will be attending "J-Day" hosted by the Troy University Journalism Department. 


Art II 

The past two weeks, we have been discussing radial balance and the 9th grade has been working on Mandala Designs. Our next project will be Pop Art inspired self portraits in the style of Roy Lichtenstein.


Here is just a sneak peak of some of the beautiful designs the students have created. All of them are on display near the front office...come take a look at our artists' work!
