6th Grade: One Point Perspective – Wrap up drawing and PAINT!
I can… describe the importance of building relationships between diverse groups of people.
Learn To Draw โDrawing is more than a tool for rendering and capturing likenesses. It is a language, with its own syntax, grammar, and urgency. Learning to draw is about learning to see. In this way, it is a metaphor for all art activity. Whatever its form, drawing transforms perception and thought into image and teaches us how to think with our eyes.โ 101 Things to Learn in Art School Kit White ยฉ 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kit White

I can use different styles of communication to express thoughts and ideas, negotiate conflicts, and resolve disagreements.
โAll art is quite useless.โ โ Oscar Wilde: Art isnโt utilitarian, and if it is, perhaps it isnโt art. Art serves a non-practical role in our lives, but that does not mean that it is not vital or necessary. Oneโs individual identity and our collective identity as a culture have no clear serviceability, but they are critical to our ability to function as a society.

โEach generation gets to reinvent art in its own image.โ
Because art is an act of description, it is inevitable that what it describes will reflect every generationโs bias of the moment. It is not a strict reflection of a time but an interpretation rendered in a language that is always in a state of transformation. Kit White ยฉ 2011 Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kit White
We are working in all of our studios this week. I have no images to upload to inspire you with this week… In fact… this is a week where it is all going to happen in the classroom. Please be aware that we are working hard and sometimes, after MANY YEARS of regular and consistent posts, things need to be set aside. KNOW that the week is planned (and you can see that in the links) AND nothing else is happening as I write this.
I spent HOURS in my own studio today and… this is part of me being an artist and taking care of me. Thanks.

8th Grade Sculpture: GLAZING – Finally
We are going to spend about a week and do the glazing, fire, clean things up, and then assess the work. Make sure you keep the glaze off the bottom. We have to have the bottoms cleanly sponged off so that they do NOT stick to the kiln shelves.
