Middle School Art Class Highlights
Sixth Grade
Falling Name: Imagine if you took a big bucket filled with the letters that make up your name and dumped it out into a pile on the floor. Well, these art projects may be what it would look like. Students were tasked to use block or bubble letters to create a pile of letters composing their name. The letters should touch to create closed spaces between them where students included a variety of lines and patterns. A color palette was selected and a background was chosen to compliment the composition and add contrast to the typography design.
Seventh Grade
Name Illustrations: Throughout history illustrations have accompanied the written word. Starting with the ancient tradition of illuminated letters associated with scripts, hand creating art is often used to represent text in stories, poems, business names, etc. For this project students illustrated the word that is most connected to them – their name.
Seventh Grade
Name Mandalas: “Mandala” is a Sanskrit word meaning “circle” or “completion”. It is often recognized to represent wholeness. Students used shapes, colors, patterns, and designs to express themselves as they incorporated their name. Can you find their name?
