Welcome to the Art Room!
Welcome to 7th grade art! My name is Mrs. Cirjakovic and I will be your child's art teacher for the next 12 weeks. This trimester will be filled with several projects that will explore your child's creativity, teach them problem solving skills, and broaden their knowledge of art history. Next week, we will explore the life and works of Henri Matisse. We will focus on the colorful collages that he created near the end of his life. He described his technique as "drawing with scissors." With Matisse as an inspiration, the 7th graders will design their own collages using the letters in their names as a focal point. These collages will also include symbols to represent personal interests and talents. Each letter and symbol will be created with colored paper and scissors--no pencil allowed! I can't wait to see what these amazing 7th graders create!
