The Visual Arts Program is going strong and we have a really great group of students this year. New and returning students are showing their skills and desire to gain new ones.
STEAM Updates...
Great news!!! Our Donor's Choose project, Paper, Press and Go! has received full funding. Our new paper press will be in house in a matter of weeks from DickBlick Art Supply. Thank you so much from myself and on behalf of my students for your support. We are sure to have a great time learning how to make paper from various materials.
Grades...
Report cards are soon to go out for Track 1. All assignments for quarter 1 are due this Friday, September 1. Students have been made aware of how they can check their assignments in Google Classroom to see what grade they received. Any assignments that are incomplete are graded at a 50%. Any student wishing to raise this grade can complete the work and resubmit by Friday in order to have the grade raised to a 75%. All quarter 1 grades are final at the end of the day Friday, September 1. Any students with questions are concerns must take the time to see me prior to this date.
Visual Arts Community Happenings...
Starting in November, a selection of student artwork from the ECMS Visual Arts Program will be on display in the Cary Public Library. Stay on the lookout for future reminders to view student work in person. The artwork could be your child's work, and I wouldn't want you to miss out.
I am also working to put work up at other locations. Please stay tuned!
Finished Printmaking Projects...
At this time, new projects are posted on Seesaw for Track 1. If you are a Track 1 parent, take a moment to check out their prints they posted after completing a unit on the technique of Printmaking. Track 2 will finish their printmaking projects beginning September 12th. Tracks 3 & 4 will be posting beginning September 14th. I am very impressed with the growth and maturity my students are displaying as they have worked their way through this project.
