As a fun, final project of their time as James Ward artists, 8th graders learn and practice basic sewing skills in the creation of these "ugly" dolls (but really, just cute!).

Students were introduced to the art of stop motion animation for this fun and creative project made by the 7th graders! I just love how unique each of them are and how brave the students were to try something new for the first time. They really knocked it out of the park!
Every year, the 7th graders complete a collaborative grid drawing of a famous African American to celebrate Black History month. This year, we decided to honor principal Anderson who will be retiring after countless years of service at James Ward. Here is the amazing result!
Inspired by the artist Pedro Linares, students created their very own Alebrije creatures to honor Hispanic Heritage month in the art room.
As one of their most intensive projects during their time with me as students, 8th graders design and complete a miniature museum that highlights an artist or artistic period. Each student individually creates two re-creation pieces on real canvas. They then work as teams using mathematics to create a blueprint for fitting the artworks in their buildings. This year's museums are truly spectacular.
Students explored drawing, painting, and collage in these colorful cities! We discussed how shape can help us create realistic images. Kindergarten focused on the rainbow and first graders got to explore color mixing!
