Middle School ART!

In 6th Grade we have been concentrating mostly on RED CLAY! Students have made slab toad houses, experimented with underglazing techniques on small bowls, made a winter plate and even explored their heraldry with colored pencil and calligraphy.



7th Grade has 2 projects a quarter. They have a choice between a food or animal sculpture in white clay and also complete a painting with oil pastel and watercolor to go with their sculpture.






8th Grade Traditional Class has been busy these first two semesters. Projects included portraits, still life drawings and foil drawings, printmaking etchings and finally a sewn marblized paper book.
8th Grade Sculpture class have been experimenting with cardboard, wire and found object sculptures.
