Week of February 16 - 19

Hope you all have a fantastic 3 day weekend with Valentine's and President's Day!

High School: Thank you to those who have brought in a sketch book. If I've given one to you, please come with a check for $10 made out to the Clark School. If you still prefer to bring your own, please do so!!!

HS 1: Be thinking about what you'd like to do for your graffiti art project. Eventually we'll be painting these on boards outside - so right now, while the weather is cold, we'll work on the basics of drawing, design, and shading so that you'll feel confident when we get to the finished piece.

HS 2: Be thinking abou what you'd like to do for your independent project and come ready with some ideas.

Group 5 Green: Well, the goal was to be done with the ceiling mural this past week, but there's still a lot of clean up work to do to finish the edges and fix the panel above the door. This will only work if you are all willing to put in the extra effort. It would be great for you all to feel really good about this as it is something that you have painted on school property for folks to see in years to come. If you are graduating this year, please, think about this carefully. We'll be having a critique this week to figure this out.

Group 5 Blue: We're chugging along with the mural and you're making great progress! We'll continue with more detail work this week. The goal is to have it done by the end of the month, but as I've said with Group 5 G, we have to consider not only making the subject matter look good, but we also have to think about treating the edges, doorways, etc.

Group 4: Puppets, puppets, puppets! You should almost be done with the arms and I'll give a demonstration on sewing the inner mouth this week.

Group 3: Thank you all for your appologies for being loud and off the wall this past class. Let's put those words to work this week as we begin our plaster sculptures.

Group 2: Masks! Bring in anything you'd like to use to decorate them with. Remember, try to do your own thing - not just follow what others are doing! You are an individual.

Group 1: We'll be playing an art game with paint! Though we'll use washable paint, sometimes it still stains. Please bring in a smock if you haven't already.

Bonus Video - Just for checkin' in!

For Week of February 9 -11

High School: If you don't have a sketchbook, I have ones available. Please bring in a check for $10 made out to the Clark School. You'll need one for planning your individual project.

Both Group 5s: We're painting!!!
LET'S FINISH THESE UP THIS MONTH!!!
5 Green: Finish this week - party next week?
5 Blue: Finish next week - party the following week?
Whattaya say we get these done!

Group 4: Puppets! We'll have art at the END of the day. Please think about what you'd like to dress your puppet up like. I'll bring in some things, but I might not be able to bring in exactly what you want - so if you have a specific need, try to see if you can find something to bring in.

Group 3: We'll be experimenting.

Group 2: MASKS! Think about extra things you'd like to add to give that special touch and bring it in next week. We'll also be doing a critique then.

Group 1: Art games.
