7th grade students recently completed their Room with a View project! We voted on the top two works from 1st, 5th and 6th periods. Images of these 6 student's work can be found on the 7th grade page on our art class Wiki. A link is found on the home page of our blog and home page on our art class in edline. We are currently learning watercolor techniques and will move into rendering realistic images of artichokes and lemons in colored pencils, black and white graphite and watercolor at the end of the week thru the following week.

6th grade students are busy working on the Lions Club "Vision of Peace" Poster contest. We will complete our work on Thursday and Lions Club members will judge our artwork on Friday. The winner of the competition at the International level will be awarded $5000.00 !! After this competition we will be using the Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain lessons to refine drawing techniques.

Happy Fall !!!

7th grade student work in local art show

Natalie Stanley was our guest artist last week ! She was able to spend time with our 7th grade students demonstrating her art style, showing us images of her work and talking about her inspiration as an artist. She is hosting an art show in her home tomorrow night (Tuesday, October 19, 6-8pm / 9719 Wynchase Circle 36117). Ten of our students work will be sent and sold as a fundraiser supporting Mission to the World. (You may want to contact Natalie 221.9267 if you want to buy your child's art work.) The top 10 were selected by Trinity upper school art students ! Congratulations to the following students: Christina Hogan, Wilson Shanahan, Carly Mattox, Katie Chandler, Mollie Beth Dill, Mary Stuart Goocher, Jake Hemmings, Virginia Reid, Meredith Moore, and Alyssa Clark. We studied both Natalie's style and the work of artist Susie Pryor to develop these very expressionistic images of Montgomery Church steeples. Images of the students work are shown on the 7th grade page of the Art Wiki (a link to this can be found on the main page of our class blog or the art page on Edline).
