7th and 8th Grade Art

This was an unusual week in the upper grades as the students only had one art class due to the field trip. The classes were very small on Wednesday because of the absence of several students. However, the students that were present received added attention! They are progressing well on their landscape paintings and I am continuing to encourage independence and added focus as they reach the end of this project.  I emphasized the fact that I want them to see the next step in their work, make informed choices about the direction they want their painting to take and to trust their skills without my input.
