CERAMICS- BROKEN KILN-updated



Unfortunately our kiln has not been functional for the last two weeks and we are hoping it will be repaired before October. This has left us in a situation where we have not been able to complete assignments that have been built in class. Once the repairs have been made we will be catching up on firings and grades will be posted as soon as the assignments are completed. Sorry for the delay in being able to get an accurate sense of students' current grades. Any parents with questions or concerns are strongly encouraged to call or email anytime!
UPDATE: KILN IS ONCE AGAIN WORKING AS OF 9/29/09 AND FIRINGS HAVE BEGUN!

ART 7 AND ART 8 -elements of art-



STUDENTS WILL EXPLORE AND LEARN THE ELEMENTS OF ART. WE WILL WORK ON VARIOUS PROJECTS THAT DEAL WITH:
LINE
SHAPE
FORM
COLOR
VALUE
TEXTURE
SPACE

THERE WILL BE A QUIZ BASED ON THE FIRST 6 WEEKS OR SO OF OUR STUDIES. THIS ENSURES THAT STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO SPEAK THE BASIC LANGUAGE OF THE VISUAL ARTS. STUDENTS WILL SIMPLY NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEFINE THE ELEMENTS IN THEIR OWN WORDS.
