"It's All About YOU!"

The theme for this year's School-wide Art Project is....YOU!
What makes you, you?  Create an artwork that can be described as a self-portrait.  An actual image of you is not necessary.  The artwork can be something that represents you.
You may also exhibit an artwork that you created in the past that you are particularly proud of creating.  Another idea for the Art Show may be a photo collage of pictures of topics that interest you.  As always, think creatively!  I look forward to starting this with you in a couple weeks.

Amazing video!

Earlier this year, the fourth grade students had a lesson about radial symmetry.  They used compasses to create a symmetrical six petalled design.  Here is an example of student work:


During the lesson, the students also viewed this video from artist Tony Orrico: https://safeshare.tv/x/7vldw0qs3A8
Wow! Incredibly creative performance art.
Post a comment below, and let me know what you think.
