Fine Arts Night

Thanks be to J. Sirmans for putting this Fine Arts Night together! She did such a fantastic job of pulling together Visual Arts, Crafts, Band, Chorus, and Drama. I am so thankful to all of her hard work and that of everyone who participated!  

 

(I love the children pictured above and below.)

  

We had 3D art on display in the media center... pottery, clay faces, paper mache, and cardboard sculptures.

Architecture with Jamie Calkin

No, we didn't get Athens very own Jamie Calkin to actually come in, but since he was a teacher in his past life and is now an artist, AND he's local, we thought that it would be great to study about him. He started really drawing in 2000... and has been going up since then! We looked at his website and how free he is with his lines, not so rigid and structured like some realistic artists. The student had already learned how to draw in 1 and 2 pt. perspective, so they were old pros! I can't wait to show you the final results. They each have their own style. 

Fine Arts Night!

JMS will have their Fine Arts Night on Tuesday, April 29th from 6-8:00. The Drama Club will perform as well as the Chorus and Band. The Craft Club will have work displayed. The Visual Arts department will also have art on display in the Media Center (as well as a half price book sale) and also down the hallways. Miss Connor's Museum Projects will be on display in the Chorus and Art rooms. Please come out and support the arts. 

Also, Miss Connor will have the sixth grade students' museums on display at the Lyndon House (they have a facebook page, but I cannot access the address here at school!) in Athens, GA on Thursday, May the 8th from 6-8:00. The students have worked hard for WEEKS with this visiting artist. Come out and see their work. This is a project solely created and produced by the students and Miss Connor!
