Remind.com

I have been using Remind.com to communicate with students since last year.  Its a great service for teachers to use to send students reminders about homework assignments, artwork due dates, and art show dates.  The service sends a text message (or email) to the students and the best part is that your number remains private.  It is one way commuication, so if you have a question for me you will need to email me, you can't text me back.  I just got this email from them the other day.



I hadn't realized that I had sent that many reminders.  If you haven't signed up yet, find your class code and the instructions on the bulletin board in class.  Parents, if you are interested in receiving the texts as well, send me an email with you child's name and student number and I will send you instructions.

Lines and Patterns

Students in Pre IB Art 1 and AP Art used a variety of lines and patterns to create interesting compositions.  Students had to think about using repetition to unify their composition and how to engage the viewer with an interesting focal point.

Incoming Class of 2018

It was great seeing all the incoming freshman last night.  If you didn't get to see the art presentation, here it is.  I look forward to seeing many of you next school year.

IB Senior Show 2014

The show was a success.  It's great to see the students work hanging up and to be able to share all their hard work over the past two years.  Watch the slide show below to see the set up and images from the show.

New IB Junior and Senior artwork

IB Juniors

We started the year with an activity I learned at an AP workshop one summer.  Students draw a line portrait of themselves.  Then artwork is then passed around, each student has one type of media that they can add to the picture.

Here are some of the results:

Our second assignment was to paint a mechanical object.

I brought in my camera collection.

I like film cameras.

Some students brought in their own objects. 

I own one of these too.
