Organization is the KEY to SUCCESS! We always start off the year in Art class by decorating tabs that will go in our binders. The binder tabs help to keep our papers in order so we can be focused and prepared for class. The students were very creative and came up with some great designs.

It was an exciting week welcoming back students to the art room in person! We went over class information in our syllabus and reviewed class procedures and systems. Students should bring in their class supplies and signed info sheet by next week so we can set up and get organized. I'm looking forward to a great year making ART!
Etegami, also known as "Picture Letters" are a Japanese form of watercolor that are done on small postcards. The maker creates a postcard with a heartfelt message paired with an image from nature. Students created their own collection of lively etegami postcards.

Inspired by the spirit and nature of our beautiful islands, students created their own original Hawaiian postcards. Using the design process students first completed a draft before working on their final postcard. These will be a great addition to a care package or fun way to share Aloha with a friend!
This week we learned about the Mexican holiday Dia De Muertos, which is a special celebration to honor loved ones have passed away. Students decorated their own calaveras (sugar skulls). They used bright colors to create vibrant and bold designs that are well balanced and lively.
8th Grade Students had fun creating their Picasso Inspired Self-Portraits. They explored color and shape, dividing their face into different views to show their expressions. Each one is unique in it's own way!
