September 6th-September 10th

Henri Matisse
Snow Flowers



The seventh grade classes completed their "Namely Me" Matisse collage projects on Friday, September 3rd. This project pushed all of the students to use shape and color in a unique way. The results were far better than I ever expected. It has been such a pleasure to be surrounded by talented artists throughout the day. Please be sure to view these masterpieces while they are on display at Open House on Monday, September 13th.


During the week of September 6th, the students will begin a contour drawing project. The lessons will focus on the use of different kinds of lines and patterns to create a contour drawing of a real object. Stay tuned for student artwork samples to be posted on future blogs!
