8th Grade: This week you will begin to create your first self- driven projects. Make sure your written plan is being followed. Completion of this project requires a written list of materials, goals, and sketch of the artwork.

7th Grade: Sketches of your skeletons are complete. Begin to create your character for your skeleton wire armatures. We will begin these next week.

6th Grade: Clay demo was given last week during class. This week we will be working with clay to make a pinch pot. Please remember to roll up sleeves, remove jewelry, and keep you hands MOIST as you work, this will keep the clay from cracking and drying during the process.

2nd Grade: Coloring in our Horse sketches, continue to add background and foreground details to add depth.

Kindergarten: Fancy Foliage! We are going to cut out our leaf in the black paper and use the negative space to create a frame for our torn colored paper collage. Sign and hang in hallway.
