7th and 8th Grade Art

We really are so close to finishing the Scholastic Art submissions. One of the difficult things of being an art teacher is pacing the projects to fit the needs and skill levels of a large and diverse group of artists. It is so important that the students do not feel rushed to complete their work and it is equally important to know when to stop working on a piece. It is a tricky balance with all the grade levels, but the older the artist, the harder it is to find the right balance. As several students have finished their pieces, they are working on an independant project this week. We will begin a new work cycle next week and for the students that are still working on their Scholastic piece, they will continue working until they are satisfied with the result.
