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!
Students studied the artist Claes Oldenburg and his larger than life sculptures of everyday objects. Students split into groups and chose an object that they could find in the art room. They created measurements and scaled their drawings up to 10x bigger to create their very own larger than life sculptures. After they built their structures out of items such as cardboard and newspaper, students paper mache'd their work to give it a smooth base for painting. Here is a small sample of students at work and a couple of the final pieces!
7th Grade students just finished up a unit on texture. They began by exploring how different types of patterns can create textural feeling to a drawing. Then, each student drew a teddy bear and added textured lines to make it appear as if the bear had fur. The unit ended when students creating visual texture that you can also feel on pieces of art foil. Here are some beautiful final results from the quarter!
Seventh graders have been learning about value and how it helps create light and shadow in a drawing. They used their value skills to create these African masks.
7th grade students learned about contour line drawing and visual texture over the past quarter. Their final project was to create a contour line drawing of a teddy bear and add texture using a pen to make the teddy appear like it is furry.
