on body image

Social Action posters were handed in last week.  Those who did not complete during class time will have to work on their posters during Park Time this coming week.  The ESSAYS are due MONDAY and are part of the overall project grade and will also count as an independent project grade based on the criteria given in class (that paper given in class!).  

Email papers (Times New Roman Font, Size 12 and Double-Spaced) following the checklist (in prior posts) to jhillman@cpcsschool.org.

8th Grade Morehouse Grotesque Sculptors

 Masks are in FULL EFFECT!  Adding exaggerated and ugly features to their designs is what will make the final result its best.  Scholars watched the Wedding Haka of New Zealand Maori tradition and looked at masks from different countries.  SOME brave students are allowing Ms. Hillman to make masks from their faces while others are creating the base of their masks on balloons.  Scholars are learning how to use plaster strips (Rigid Wrap) to create sturdy structure for their grotesque masks.

GET THOSE BABY PHOTOS IN TO MS. HILLMAN ASAP.  Questions about any of this?  Email Ms. Hillman: jhillman@cpcsschool.org.
