5th Grade Contour Line Artists
Scholars in Tuskegee are learning about the artwork of sculptor Alexander Calder, who spent time in France and created many wire toys and portraits. Scholars have a worksheet due on Thursday and will need use of a dictionary and the internet to look up words and a credit line of one of Calder's art pieces.

6th Grade Dia De Los Muertos Designers
The 6th grade began their sugar skull pattern designs on Thursday, but started learning about Dia De Los Muertos, which takes place on November 1st and 2nd every year. It is safe to say that it is no longer strictly a Mexican holiday, and is a wonderful way to celebrate the lives of those who have left us too soon. We continue and complete our sugar skulls on Thursday because there is NO SCHOOL TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3rd.

7th Grade Ceramicists
Howard students will be learning the ins and outs of recycling clay and will be recycling about 30 pounds of it! Scholars are encouraged to bring an old shirt or smock to wear over their uniforms to avoid getting clay on themselves. Students will also begin a research project in quarter 2 that requires them to learn about artists and artwork.

8th Grade ~ Spelman Artists
The Graphic Novels turned out really well overall. Scholars handed in their finished pieces this past week, and while it was a long-term project, the variations in stories were very enjoyable to read. There were very personal stories to mundane accounts of life, but all were interesting in their own way.
Next up, an in-depth look at batik! What is Batik? It's going to change your life and you walls because we are going to put a modern spin on an old technique.
