8th Gr. Graffiti Tags

Street Art- Graffiti Tags
For this project, students chose a tag which is a graffiti signature for themselves.  Some students derived the name from their real names and others chose words to represent themselves.  They learned how to write in a graffiti style and used chalk pastels to color these in and give the appearance of a spray painted graffiti tag.  Click on the "8th Grade Art" tab to see more!

Very Nice work 8th grade!

6th Gr. Paper Marbling and Zentangle

Students learned about Japanese Paper Marbling and made several beautiful pieces of marbled paper (Suminagashi) using liquid watercolor paint and shaving cream.  Students then made Zentangles on their paper.  Zentangle is a fun and relaxing way to draw using lines, shapes, and patterns that increases, focus, creativity, and dexterity.  To see more of these beautiful Asian inspired artworks, see the "6th Grade Art" tab!



 






 We Also made Origami out of the marbled paper.  They look great hanging in the lunchroom!
 

Great Job 6th Grade!
