Week of May 21, 2012
Due to CST testing and the shortened periods, at different times of the day,
students were having difficulty focusing. Therefore the in class work was
changed. We all watched the movie, Anne Frank which was an important subject
to at least be able to touch upon if not go into depth with it this year.
Art: Students watched Shrek after the CST and therefore their assignment
this week was changed to an assignment of creating a castle, moat, "monster"
and one room in the castle. Students will work all week. The assignment is
due the end of class for 45 pts. Parts of the assignment may be drawn on
other paper. FRIDAY, MAY 25th students are to bring a photo of themselves
(fairly close up) for 10 points. This needs to be an actual photo or a
print. No cell phone photos because students will be drawing themselves by
using a grid.
Art students: On Thursday night for Open House you may also share your Art
three ring binder OR simply the few art pieces you chose to put in the main
Portfolio.
