Congratulations to our 8th grade artists of the week!

Tori D., Jonah K., Bryson S. and Hannah H. impressed us with their incredible grid drawings! For this project, students selected a reference image of their choice, created a 1x1 grid on it, and then used the grid drawing method to enlarge their image to four times the original size. By carefully following each square, they developed strong observation skills.

We’re proud to feature 7th grade artists with their stunning chalk pastel landscapes! Inspired by the work of Claude Monet, students explored color blending, light, and atmosphere to create Impressionist-style scenes. Each piece began with a bold black glue outline to define key shapes, then was brought to life with layers of soft, vibrant chalk pastels.

Congratulations to B, Orin F, Tiara J and Aubree S for being named artists of the week!
