Positive/Negative Bug ProjectNote: All eighth grade art students will need a box and tissue paper to transport their clay projects home safely. All projects will fit in a shoebox or a slightly smaller box. Please send these in by next Wednesday, February 23rd. Thank you!
It is hard to believe, but this will be the final week for all eighth grade art classes. Encore classes will switch on Friday, February 25th, marking the end of the second trimester. During our last week together, students will complete their Positive/Negative Bug Project. The objective of this project is to have all students create a design using a detailed drawing, reversing positive and negative space. It also explores organic and geometric shapes.
I have truly enjoyed the time that I have spent with this eighth grade group. Their creativity, enthusiasm, and hard work has been inspiring. At some point during the next trimester, a portfolio of all of the class projects will be sent home. The displays of student work has garnered such positive feedback that I am not ready to take everything down just yet!
