Woodlawn School.... it's where ART happens!

The visual arts program at Woodlawn engages students in making, interpreting, and learning about art in a meaningful way. Students learn skills and concepts of art while growing as individuals.The art curriculum is designed to enrich core classes through integrated themes. Students experiment with a variety of media and technique. Students are encouraged to think and work like artists; focusing on the creative process and not the end product. Though we do end up with some amazing products!

Hispanic Herritage Month

During the months of September and October all students are focusing on two of the art element: line & shape.
6th-8th grade students did this in the form of a portrait. Because it is Hispanic heritage month, students were give a stack of famous Hispanic figure to choose from. First students choose a picture, then created a grid, and lastly draw their person. If time allowed, student were encouraged to shade or color their drawings.

The concepts that we are focusing on are:

· Proportions/ grid drawing

· Elements of Art: line & shape

· Using the right side of your brain (we turned the picture upside down)
