3rd Trimester begins with 6th grade Art






















This week the 6th grade students started art class. We began this week with an imaginary drawing that could have elements of realism. Students used their imagination to create an image that was of importance to them.
In addition, we began our unit on cartooning and cartooning techniques. Students drew various cartoon images with an interactive video. The students were very successful in their first drawing experiences.
In the area of community news:

All 7th and 8th grade artists should continue to drop off their artwork and application forms to Miss Lehrer in the art room for the Downers Grove Junior Woman's Club Junior High Contest of 2010. http://www.dgjwc.org/

See Miss Lehrer for help with matting or presentation of your artwork for this exciting contest!

Also, stop by the art room if you want more information on the Darien Women's Club Fine Arts Scholarship
