Eighth grader Nicole Font did not choose to take
Mrs. Wood's Digital Art class, but she has ended
up loving it. She enjoys that the class is after lunch
and says "it's a great chance for me to wind down."
Newly armed with digital imaging skills, her
mother has asked her to design the family's holiday
card this year. Her piece shown here is based on
David Hockney's photo collages. Stemming from
Cubism, his photos attempted to show multiple
perspectives simultaneously.
In sixth grade, the students'
schedules rotate every 6 weeks so
that they may sample some of the
electives that we offer. They take
Latin, Chinese, French, Spanish, Computers, and Art. 6th
grader Emily Franklin, shown
here with her first pinch pot,
says "I liked making this pot
because I got to play with clay.
My one piece of advice would be
to wear a smock! Other than
that, I think that art is easy
because there isn't a right or
wrong way to do things. You can
do it any way you want to."
Whether they are stopping in for a semester or they have begun to foster a lifelong love
of art, our students are doing something that no one can take away from them. They are
creating beauty in their everyday lives, and we, as viewers, are lucky enough to witness
their creations.
If you missed our open house, please look for more student artwork
at our Spring Student Show in April.
