This week in art!

Art I  has wrapped up their unit on symmetry and completed their SYMMETRICAL WORD DESIGNS . We discussed the different lines of symmetry and the fact that this project uses both RADIAL and MIRROR SYMMETRY. 






For the next couple weeks they will be working on Paper Mache' Face Jug Masks. For more information on the history and origins of Face Jugs or "Ugly Mugs",  CLICK HERE ! 

3 masks will be selected to be featured in the Face Jug Exhibit at the Johnson Center from October 22- November 3. 









Art II is finishing up drawings inspired Grant Wood's painting of American Gothic painted in 1930. Their assignment was to draw a "modern day" version of this iconic painting. 

While it might seem like a married couple here,
this was actually Wood's sister and dentist.

Needless to say there have been some INTERESTING interpretations so far....photos to come!
