Photography Project

This week students reviewed their files of photographs and chose an image to work with next week. They will be creating a water color painting of the print they selected. We had SO MUCH fun preparing for these photos at Forest Park!

Artist in Residence Phase 1

Today we worked with blending color. Very nice.

Busy Busy Week

It was great seeing you all at Back to School Night. If you were unable to come and sign up for a conference, you can find the schedule outside of my classroom. This week we are going to be VERY busy. Today, students participated in a chemistry class presented by OMSI. For the next few weeks we will be working with our Artist in Residence, Nancy Klos. She will be guiding students through realistic nature sketches which will lead into our work with Anne Ploger, a local photographer. She will be helping students capture art in nature through photography. Last week two docents from the Portland Art Museum visited our class in order to prepare students for our field trip to the museum next Wednesday. Speaking of the field trip, Wednesday is late opening, and we will need to leave immediately after the bell rings at 10:00 am. Please make sure your student is here on time. Thanks so much!
