The 7th graders are returning to the Art Department for another year and we have added new faces to the class as well. I am always excited to have my return students and equally excited to meet my new 7th graders!
This semester course will review the elements and principles of design as well as aspects of aesthetics and criticism. It will include a study of American art. Techniques of acrylic painting will be explored and watercolor techniques will be reviewed.
We have begun by taking notes on a very well known American artist, Georgia O’Keeffe. The students are drawing different still-life objects each day and will put them together creating a 3D effect.
The 7th grade students are also working on the Montgomery Humane Society’s “Howli-day” card. Students are creating 3 sketches in their sketch books. Students will complete each sketch in color. We will discuss them and one will be chosen for the final to be completed in color on an 8×10 sheet of drawing paper.
