8th grade Plushies

8th graders worked on original plushies. Students did everything from thinking of the concept to making a pattern to sewing everything together! They are so #onfleek!

8th/7th grade micrography portraits

7th and 8th grade girls learned about micrography, images made from text. Students learned about value (the lightness and darkness of an image) and learned to create value with text, either by adding variation of size, distance and font of text.  They also used decorative text in the background to describe themselves. Some of their descriptions are easy to read and some students made their words into a pattern-- see if you can read them all!

I am so impressed with these portraits, and I think you will be as well!

8th graders chose animals they were inspired by and used a transfer method to trace the animals to watercolor paper. Then they used a method called wet on wet to paint. (This means they used wet paper and wet brushes to make the paint spread around). The results are awesome'
