Blast from the ART Past

Special Shout out to Vance, who visited CPCS recently.  He was a scholar who was reluctant to push himself as a visual artist at first, but he tried, succeeded and made amazing artwork. TRY TRY TRY!  Here's a great song about trying.  "Try" by Jill Scott.
OKAY...down to business:

7th Grade Researchers

Mia is doing her project on SWOON.
(Can't wait to see the 10-slide presentation.)

PowerPoint Presentations begin this week.  Click HERE for the student presentation schedule.  Scholars can create a PowerPoint, Prezi or Google Presentation.  Be on time to class or you lose your spot and your grade.

The SLIDE OUTLINE is HERE.  The rubric is based on exactly what is on the outline, so use that as a checklist to your benefit. 

If you received a bright green sheet, you must get your parent/guardian to sign it and you have until the date listed to return the work.  No exceptions.

Questions about any of this?  Email Ms. Hillman: jhillman@cpcsschool.org.

5th Grade Sculptors

Scholars will be completing their Alexander Calder-based wire sculptures next week.  Tuskegee scholars started to learn more about symmetry, which will be a basis for future artwork later this quarter.

8th Grade Batik Artists

Taylah started from the MIDDLE,
now she's here.

Terry went super-detailed.  

These are looking SO good.  Students are becoming more and more familiar with batik process because they are creating them!  This week scholars complete the painting portion and start washing out the glue to reveal their completed designs.  THEN WE SEW!  Watch out!
