Mrs. Bates’ Awesome Art Room

Mrs. Barker’s students experimenting with marble art and textures.

Student’s created Self-Portraits

Students experimented with a variety of LINES, curved, wavy, thick, curly, jagged, zigzag, dotted, and dashed as they created a variety of projects from buildings like the architectural designs in St. Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow, to the lines in their hands.  Other classes drew close ups of leaves and plants.

• finding beauty in everyday things and situations.
• making connections between different things and ideas.
• going beyond ordinary ways of thinking and doing things.
• looking at things in different ways in order to generate new perspectives.
• taking risks and exposing yourself to possible failure.
• arranging things in new and interesting ways.
• working hard and at the edge of your potential.
• persisting where others may give up.
• concentrating your effort and attention for long periods of time.
• dreaming and fantasizing about things.
• using old ideas to create new ideas and ways of seeing things.
• doing something simply because it’s interesting and personally challenging to do.
