As we shift to the final trimester of the year (hard to believe) that means its time to see how last term finished up in the artroom. All three grades completed their last units and the results speak for themselves. This work is currently on display in the hallways of FMS, but will find it’s way home so keep an eye out.
8th graders completed a complex ceramic build that mixed form and function as the created this collection of imaginative teapots. Each one needed to hold water and pour through a spout, but the rest of the planning was entirely student driven.
Meanwhile, Seventh graders were facing the challenge of their own faces- specifically drawing them with charcoal. We practiced observation and learned the basic facial proportions, then set up dramatic lighting and dug into this messy but beautiful art medium.
And finally our sixth grade classes explored the detailed ins and outs of coral, studying shapes, textures and colors to create these gorgeous ceramic mini-reefs that can’t help but brighten your day.
