During the Month of November we will be studying Ancient Greek Art. The ancient greeks had a vast influence on the world's art and architecture. Many of the buildings and sculptures you see today have been inspired by works done by the ancient greeks.

September's Art
By LMoisan @ 8:43 AM :: 44 Views :: 0 Comments ::

In September we will be studing the Prehistoric Art concentrating on the cave drawings in France and Spain. Please visit this Link to learn about the Cave of Chauvet. Because the caves were sealed for so long, the paintings on the walls were preserved. Since being discovered, the air is fading the paintings. Most governments allow only a few people a day to see these amazing artworks.

How I grade Student Art Work
By LMoisan @ 6:54 PM :: 200 Views :: 0 Comments ::

I would like to assure all my students and their parents that I grade on EFFORT, rather than on TALENT. Some students have natural artistic abilities, and some do not. What I look for are students who a) stay on task, b) ask for help when needed, and c) put in their best effort. A student who does those three things will do very well in art class, regardless of how much artistic talent he or she may have!
