What we've done so far...

The 7/8 Academy Artists hit the ground running in art history, so far we covered Stone Age/Mesopotamia, Greek/Hellenistic, Egyptian, Japanese/Chinese/Indian, Middle Ages, and just completed Renaissance art. We've worked on some faux cave paintings using plaster on canvas board and it produced some great effects. Painting with sticks on such a rough texture wasn't so easy but you couldn't tell by the end results.




The 6th grade Academy artists started with competition the first week but soon started on an abstract piece that paid homage the the great Wassily Kandinsky. I found the project here on the Blick website.
