Eight grade students have been experimenting with architecture by creating group projects made from stacked boxes. Groups must work together to make a structures that are as tall as a person, balanced, freestanding, and sturdy. Here is an example of some works in progress, check back to see them in their completed form!
Students in 7th and 8th grades worked in groups to abstract the human form by tracing each other on large sheets of paper. They experimented with overlapping and selectively tracing certain portions of their bodies to create the initial drawings. They are working now to paint the various shapes created through this method of creating abstraction. Check back in to see their final projects!
8th grade students are refreshing their knowledge of color theory by creating color wheels and value scales using tempera paint. We will use these skills in an upcoming painting project.
