This week students are continuing their color theory exercises.  I did teach a quick review lesson on pattern today.  Students illustrated 4 different types of pattern; Drop, Regular, Irregular and Radial.

Students constructed their own sketch book last week.  This week we are learning about the Autumnal Equinox coming up on 9-22-18 (date could change).  This exercise will give the students an “idea bank” to create their fall collage on the front cover of their sketch book.

7th and 8th grade students review the elements of art.  Students review and learn 4 different color wheels and 16 color schemes.

Please see the following attached to link to further understand or review safety in the art room.  This was covered in class today.
