Art News
Welcome to Studio 711, art class for the 4th nine weeks. We have just completed in our last nine weeks an amazing mural! The Durham Heritage Project was completed through a grant from the Georgia Council of the Arts, with Artist in Residence Pam Beagle-Daresta. To share with the students from the 4th nine weeks, we have been talking about the mural in relation to the Elements of Art and Principles of Design. We have also explored topics on the four inspirational subjects that artists paint from.We also have completed a pencil rendering of a still life, with fresh fruits and vegetables that were grown on the Durham land. Each class is presently working on a 2D drawing.
Each student needs for class on a daily basis, a pencil with eraser, their agenda, and a pocket folder. A black sharpie marker will be needed for our drawing assignment.
It would be very appreciated if each student could send in a box of baby wipes. We use these for hands, tables and spills!
I look forward in teaching your child!
