Students learn about figures and proportion by drawing mannequins. They will draw the mannequins, create a wax resist around the outlines of the mannequins, and then use watercolor and charcoal to add visual interest.

Create a business that does not already exist. Make sure it reflects your personality and interests. On Adobe Illustrator, combine text and imagery to design the front and back of a business card.

Students chose either a pet or a food item to represent POPular culture in 2014. They then transformed that image into pop artwork by using black outlines, primary colors, action word typography, explosive shapes, and flat surfaces.

Students were introduced to Vincent Van Gogh and his unique style of postimpressionist painting. His most famous painting is “Starry Night.” In this art project, students put a twist on the masterpiece by creating their own “Super Starry Night” keeping some of the original elements, but making it quite unique. Oil pastels were used to recreate Van Gogh's style of applying color.

Eighth-grade students created these sculptures by using "straws" of wrapped magazing pages. Not only did they demonstrate weaving skills, but they also learned the importance of recycling to create new art.
