Families of the students listed below,
Your child’s art has been selected by their peers to be put on display at the St. Albans Public Library in the Young Adult/Youth section on the second floor. The work will be displayed from the week of Thanksgiving through the month of December. Please go take a look at the wonderful work that they created and perhaps check out a book or two while you are there.
The work being displayed is:
7th and 8th grade printed patterns. Students printed a circular or square grid on muslin. They used brayers, printing ink, and the back of an old coca-cola crate. They were then tasked to create a theme within the empty spaces. Students used colors, shapes, lines, symbols, and patterns to unify their designs. The display of the pieces together establishes a quilt-like effect.
6th grade crazy eyes. Students have been practicing different elements related to portraiture. In this project, students blocked out the shape of an eye and splatter painted around it. They then used either marker, colored pencils, watercolor or a combination of materials to create the details in the eye. There was an emphasis on layering color for the iris, creating a dark pupil with a highlight, and adding eyelashes.
I am so proud of the wonderful art that was created. Keep up the good work.
8th grade students are: Shay, Alora, Forest, Evan, Ethan, Lilliana
7th Grade students are: Maliyah, Miley, Natalie, Payton, Maddy, Autumn, and Celia
6th Grade students are: Cayleigh, Morgan, London, Carly, Siri, Bob, Kianna, Charlotte, Taylynn, Jarley, Scarlette, Finn, Olivia, Trinity, Bailey, and Ali
Sincerely,
Ellen Montgomery
