Summer Assignment 2016

Students were provided with the opportunity to begin their summer assignment before the end of the school year.  Students in 6th and 7th grade had several options of prompts as to what to complete for this assignment.  Each student was asked to choose one prompt and complete a drawing based on that.  Students were also encouraged to create more pieces throughout the summer months but only one piece is required for this assignment.  Here are some example of what 6th and 7th graders started prior to the end of the 2015-2016 school year.  This is an in progress picture of what they accomplished before the start of summer.



Artist Biography

How do artists tell their own stories?  Students were challenged to create an artist statement using few to no words. These visual biographies are the culminating piece of their gifted Visual Arts Program education. Each 8th grade student included information pertaining to their artistic accomplishments, goals, biographical information, hopes and dreams. These works of art tell their stories as young artists and their aspirations for the future.
