My Project

Each year, I like to create new curriculum so that my students a a wide variety of art skills and experiences by the time they head to high school. This year, my 8th graders will be creating graphic novels. This hones their creative thinking skills as well as literacy skills.

My 7th graders will be creating Zines about themselves as well as creating a landscape drawing.

With this project, they learn the Rule of Thirds, as well as how and why placement is important.

My 6th graders will be learning about Tim Burton style self portraits as well as sculpture and paper making.

These supplies will cover all of the projects mentioned and more.

I thank everyone in advance for you contribution to visual arts and our students.
