  There is a strong relationship between the art and technology fields. In technology class this year we have spent the first few months using different programs to design business cards, birthday cards, school logos and now we created our own songs using chrome music lab. This interdisciplinary project combines music, art and technology.

   

  It is always amazing to see students be excited about their creations and want to share them with the class. This gentleman took a popular song and put his own creative spin on it. I'm very excited to share his song with you. Great job!

  Congratulations to our Artist of the Week - Jordan V., 5th Grade

  At the end of October, we learned about Non-Objective Abstract art. This kind of art is made up of three out of the seven elements of art - Line, color and shape. We focused on the artist Wassily Kandinsky, who drew connections between music, emotion and abstract art. He claimed to have synesthesia, which is hearing sound through color. His artwork was often titled after music compositions. 

  The students listened to music and practiced associating color with emotion. I chose Jordan Velasquez as artist of the week because he created an interesting composition using color, line and shape. He showed energy with the movement of lines and color. The fifth grade really enjoyed doing this project together! Great job Jordan!

  Congratulations to our Artist of the Week - Patrick C. - 7th Grade

  For our second project of the year, we celebrated Hispanic Heritage month by learning about Mexican Folk Art. Our 5th and 6th grade students made replicas of a sun and moon art that is typical of Mexican culture. These students learned about warm and cool colors and how to separate them in a drawing. The 7th and 8th grade made their own versions of sugar skulls, birds or Tavena Tiles. They learned about pattern making and how to represent Mexican culture through art. 

   

  Patrick chose a skeleton to draw. He carefully drew his skeleton and added details from where his family is from in Ecuador. He depicted the villages, artifacts, flags and other motifs from his heritage. I am very impressed with Patrick's ability to make this project personal and reflect his Hispanic culture. He did a nice job using primary and secondary colors as well. Fantastic job Patrick!

  Congratulations to our Artist of the Week - Joel G. - 8th Grade

  In Art, we started the year off learning about the second element of art which is Color. For this project, we continued to grow our knowledge of the color wheel. We focused on how the wheel is organized and how the colors are related to each other. 

  I chose Joel as artist of the week for several reasons. I am very proud of how he used shading inside the eye and delicate colored pencil work. His project is uniform and creative. He also put tremendous effort and is always working to improve his drawing skills. Good job Joel!
