Middle school students! Your first ART assignment is now posted in Schoology. Please complete by Thursday evening.
Also, a message for ALL Art students — I will be using Schoology as my main teaching tool now. Please refer to your course for any Art assignments, class announcements, or other information.
I can be contacted through Schoology or my email: kushnic@dearbornschools.org
Hello, art students, and welcome to another school year! It may look different this year, but our goal is the same: to make art and have fun!
Until everything is running smoothly with Schoology, I will be communicating through my blog. Once Schoology is set, however, that will be the place to go for your lessons.
One big thing I would like to remind you of is YES, YOU ARE GRADED IN ART. Participation in my class is not optional, but required. If at any time you have questions about assignments, it is your job to ask. I am here for you!
Let’s make this the best weird year we can!
Our first remote learning assignment for elementary students was the found object color wheel. A found object is something that doesn’t normally have an artistic purpose and, most of the time, isn’t something that you need to buy. Students used things from around their homes to create their own color wheels.
Anhar, 5th grade
Ayman, 5th grade, and Marwan, 4th grade
Bayan, 4th grade
Laila, 4th grade
Riyad, 4th grade
4th graders are busy working on paper mache donuts. We created an armature, or the skeleton of a sculpture, using rolled up newspaper. Then layers of paper and paper mache paste were added to build up the donut. The last layer is construction paper. It’s not only easier than painting the donut, but it also adds another layer of strength and will contrast well with our glossy donut “frosting” later on.
Congratulations go out to 8th grader, Noora A., whose art was selected to represent Salina Intermediate in the board room at the administrative service center. Each school in the district has a frame that displays a student with their art work along with brief description of their art. Noora created an autobiographical map of her interests and personality. It is done with marker, colored pencil, and paint. The picture of Noora and her art will be up for one year.
