Congo's Art Studio
Every year we submit mostly 8th grade art work to the annual Scholastic Art Awards at the Asheville Art Museum. We had 77 submissions this year, and these are the ones that got picked for awards.
Congratulations to all the students and to those who received special recognition!
Got to Maine and Camp on Monday, the campers arrived on thursday, and I gave the first chapel talk on Sunday. Camp really is a special place. The people, the tall pine trees and the cool water of Panther Pond! here is a copy of the talk I gave on this first week of Camp:
First Pirate TECH CREW Meeting
Wed. Nov 14th – 3:30–4:45
Be there if ye can! For a reading of the script with the CAST. This is important — we as a crew must know the story. (Pirates have homework too!)
Thurs. Nov. 15th – 3:30–4:00
Meeting with Mr. "Captain" Congo "Beard" about tech crew matters.
Then from 4:00–4:45 another reading of the script with the cast in Ms. Heinberg's room.
See you there!!! Yargh!
Art Room Updates
6th Grade: is presently working on Cartoon Cards, and will be starting the tree painting project soon.
7th Grade: just started the Metamorphosis Animation project.
8th Grade: has started photography — learning how to take photos with film, process the film, and enlarge their negatives.
The 8th grade also completed a drawing from life activity. The students took turns (if they wanted to) modeling for the class. Each student had 5 minutes to capture their gesture with India ink on newsprint. This leads into their next studio project: Modern Painting.
