Mid-October Art Fest!


Morehouse & Spelman

Weaving projects are due Monday (Spelman) and Tuesday (Morehouse). This project requires a lot of patience and understanding of pattern.  The finished projects will be perfect to hang on walls (after we show them off at school first!).
Look at the "8th Grade Gets Weavey" post for links on how to complete the steps for this project BUT keep your yarn ON the loom.

7th Grader Artists

Abraham got his Bee on!
We been working with paper and creating sculptures of Fierce Animals.  The latest project has been focusing on paper as a material and what is possible when you change it.  Scholars completed their Fierce Animals, chock full of details about what makes their animal fierce to them!

Scholars had one week to create their independently standing sculptures.

Terry created a fierce looking spider...just in time for Halloween!







6th Graders in FISK & Hampton

Our young Pop Artists are nearly done their Pop Art self-portraits in clay.  They are now putting on the finishing touches and learning how to hang and display their art in a professional manner.  

Xavier & Tuskegee

The five line variations are the focus of this week's lesson.  Scholars are mastering their skills and putting in their personal touches on their profile collages.  Practice makes perfect and our in-house designers are going to have their artwork dazzling our hallways in the very near future.
