Is Garbage Art?

Today Camp, Chris, and Stevie started making the trash can beautiful! They used their art period by making the art room's trash can bright and fun. People will enjoy throwing away their trash in this gorgeous can. :)

DDR FTW!!!

This year our middle school students are beginning class with DDR, or a Daily Drawing Ritual.  When they enter the classroom, they sketch for the first five minutes of class.  They might draw a shoe, a face, or some random object they find on their table.  This drawing is a "warm up" for the eye and artistic spirit.  Similar to running a few laps before gym class, these drawings help prepare them for the day and strengthen their drawing skills...as well as provide some structure for transitioning into class.

Weclome to the Saint Francis Art Room!

This year we thought it would be fun to give you a peek at what goes on day to day here in the middle school art room.  This year we will update this page daily with happenings around the art room.  Anything, from basic info about lessons to wonderful breakthroughs had by young artists, will be written about...and the great thing is, it will be brought to you by students.  Students telling their stories about their experiences and the experiences of their fellow classmates. 

We hope you enjoy the quick glimpses this blog will supply.
