This year, I will be instructing grades four through eight from September to mid January and Grades K through three from mid January until the end of the year. Every year, the students start with a project that touches upon identity by either visually communicating activities enjoyed, focusing on the name or creating a self portrait. As per usual, students will be learning new and reviewing vocabulary terms to help complete projects such as; negative space, contour, overlapping, depth, dimension, shading, value. Students will be encouraged to create mixed media work, as to observe the different textures each tool creates such as watercolor and tempera cake paints, oil pastels, color pencils and permanent markers. This year, it is my goal that each grade complete at least one three dimensional sculpture as well as work with a material they have not worked with before. I am looking forward to seeing what the students create!
