Congo's Art Studio
Pirates of Penzance (Tech Crew Page) – Yargh!
We have not had an official production meeting yet (Ms. Heinberg, Mr. Broshar, Ms. Bean, and Mr. Congo). We will have our first tech crew meeting on Thursday, Nov. 15th from 3:30–4. It looks like we will start working in the art room on November 27th. Rocks! Lots of rocks need to be constructed, and the backdrop will need a new coat of paint!

It is time to start thinking about projects to enter into the Scholastic Art Awards. 8th graders should be considering what that might be. Here are some options:
- B/W Photo
- Digital Photo
- Painting (class project)
- Drawing (independent)
- Ceramics (independent)
And so... we begin the journey into 8th grade photography. B/W photography to start and later using digital stills and video. We start the year shooting B/W 400 speed 24 exposure film of anything and everything. The big question is: what makes a photo interesting enough for people to want to look at it..even if they don't know you? That is what we will be talking about in the next 2 weeks. Looking at photos, talking about the process, and getting ready for the big responsibility of being in the darkroom. Not to mention taking really cool interesting photos.
