3rd Quarter Stars

Thank you to my 3rd Quarter Stars! Make sure you check out their photographs outside the art room. I used different computer effects with each photo. The effects imitate different artistic styles. Pick a favorite effect and I can do it to a picture of you as a "thank you" for reading our blog. The stars for this Quarter were:
Room 403- Jacquese
Room 201- Jasmarie
Room 207- Robert
Room 206- John
Room 208- Bria
Room 106- Jada
Room 108- Ashton
Room 208- Lashamere
Room 307- Chloe
Room 306- Lydell

8th grade recycles scratch paper

I had leftover scratch paper (some of it good, some bad, depending on how hard the student had pressed with the oil pastels). I hate throwing away anything so instead of tossing it, I had 8th graders try to work with it. To my surprise they did not get annoyed and frustrated with finding a paper that worked well. They were really good sports about it, and some turned out really cool.

Sketching Highlights

Fajah's zentangle is worth clicking on for a close-up. There are some really cool details she included. Do you spy a bird, a few people and more? Zentangles are fun because they are no mistakes.
Ellusion's dragon quick draw is impressive!

And Derrick's only in 3rd grade!
Lorenzo, also in 3rd grade, is always doing cool drawings like this volcano.
Lydell's sketch is real interesting.
And this is a sneak peak to the USA map Zentangle project we are working on right now. Deandre did some of the more difficult zentangle designs, click to zoom.
