Art Panels

We've done a little collabo to make these art panels happen. I, and our other middle school art teacher,  had our students paint these awesome 3' x 6' panels that have been hung throughout our school. One of our high school art teachers will also be working on two pieces! I was too excited to wait to post the pictures of their completion, though. Check 'em out!

Art Stools

We painted these in the beginning of the year and I have never had the chance to upload some pictures of them! As you can see, they are very cracked and worn down now : /... I'm not sure if it was the paint I used, but they cracked quite a bit. Aside from that, though... I think my students did a great job!

A Closer Look At You

Students were asked to draw four objects that represent something about their identity or something they like. They were to zoom in, use an interesting composition or layout, add texture, and apply shading. Sometimes it's the simple, tried and true lessons, that end up being the most my students learn from! (Sorry for the bowing out in the pictures, my camera does that- argh!)
