5th Grade ~ Xavier
These artists have been exploring the wonderful world of color and they are completing their color wheel designs to show understanding of the primary, secondary and tertiary colors. The class had a discussion about skin tones and had to figure out how to create their own skin tone using the primary colors and white. This is a difficult task but students used their arms as the gauge! Watch this space for more on this thought-provoking project.Questions? Email Ms. Hillman: jhillman@cpcsschool.org.
7th Grade Scratch Artists
Students in FAMU have been working hard on the current project where they could choose to create a pattern field, line variations or a portrait of a human or animal. Artists used linoleum tools to scratch into the clay sheets to reveal a white in their artwork. The task they must complete is to create a piece that has high contrast and allows the eye to move around their composition. Understanding value and light helps create the illusion of depth when applied to drawings. FAMU scholars are doing a great job.

6th Grade Artists in FISK
The completion of the graffiti tag using soft pastels left students wondering 'what else can we draw?" so the GESTURE DRAWING project began. Students will embark on the truth about artwork - you can draw anything if you break it down into shapes. Understanding how to create dynamic emotions is a skill students can use throughout their artistic growth. They started with basic hands and will continue with full body poses.

8th Grade AWESOME MOREHOUSE
 |
| These hallways are full. |
There isn't much more I can say about these grotesque masks other than the fact that I am SO proud of my students for their hard work and dedication to this project. Great work Morehouse! Next we vote on the Senior T-Shirt design for the silkscreen project and learn about that Pop Artist Andy Warhol, who made silkscreening so popular!
