7/8th Grade Printing Elective

Today we finished up the Posters in our Community Project. The Students chose an establishment to make a poster from our town of Parker. We learned about Toulouse Lautrec and how he made posters art for the first time . We learned about the elements of art Lautrec used in his posters to make them stand out and to be effective. The students carved linoleum squares with a logo to represent their restaurant and printed around the poster.

Eighth Grade Art Electives

We are beginning a new semester for art. For review we mixed all the colors with icing and then got to eat it. Something 8th graders enjoy.
