7th Gr. Self-Portraits


This project serves as a great opportunity for the students to really get creative and express themselves.  The drawing and painting shows the student's interests and personality and showcases exaggerated and original drawings as well as watercolor techniques.  Very fun project!





Awesome job!

7th Gr. Artist Trading Cards


Artist Trading Cards (ATC) are miniature artworks done on paper the size of playing cards and are traded when finished.  You can do anything you want on an ATC including drawing, painting, collage (cutting up paper or magazines and gluing the pieces down in a different way).  We worked on using different watercolor techniques and using creativity!
