Welcome Back~ 2014-2015 School Year

                        The first day is here!
All 8th grade students will need a spiral bound sketchbook or a folder with plain white paper. If you are interested in buying a sketch book, Hobby Lobby usually has a weekly 40% off coupon! Makes it cheaper than buying at WalMart!
Below is what we covered the first day!

Will have helpful hints and assignments

This is a new schedule. You will have art for only 12 weeks. The trimester will end in November. In that time we will complete many art experiences.

But, and it is a big BUT, you have to be on task with me!

There will beat least 3 big long term projects as well as several shorter projects.

You will be expected to have a sketchbook or an alternate folder or work.

Classroom needs: 

Everyday: Pencil!!!!!!!

Your sketchbook

and your Agenda Book (Even in 9th period!)

Projects due dates will be posted on the side board. Plenty of time will be given to complete a project or assignment.

Projects and assignments will lose 10% everyday that they are late.

Something is better than nothing! Remember this!

MARKS:

Will be given!

There will be no warning for throwing things, it is an automatic yellow. You are only here for 40 minutes, you can refrain from throwing!

Note to Self

It is Perspective Time!

7th graders are beginning to work in one point and two point perspective.

Doodling

Doodling is not goofing off!

It is about time that scientists are realizing that visual literacy is important. Doodling or drawing class notes can actually bring a students focus to the topic and help them remain focused!

Screen Printing

Even though we had only 1 day of classes after the holiday break, the 8th graders have managed to make a few screen printed t-shirts! 

Using a student's design we have made a screen to create our own class of 2018 custom t-shirt.

                                                       

8th grade students may still bring a washed t-shirt in and we can print them during Intervention period!

Merry Christmas And Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a very happy holiday break!

When school resumes 8th grade will only have 5 days of art left!

We will be screen printing at least one class of 2018 t-shirt per student!

Printing in New Year

Attention 8th Graders!!

When we return from winter break we will be silk screening t-shirts with our

chosen design. 

Please bring a washed t-shirt. 

(If the shirt is brand new it has sizing in it and will not print well)

Any color is acceptable.

If anyone has an extra plain t-shirt that they would like to donate, it would be appreciated!
