Trimester II Art Show

Trimester II has come and gone. The weather is getting warmer (thank goodness) and we are off to a great Trimester III. I didn't want too much time getting away without posting a few of our Trimester II Art Show photos. Enjoy!

8th Grade Art Students Create Special Effects

You might wonder what special effects has to do with art? Our MMS 8th grade art students are experiencing a different type of artistic application: special effects makeup.

In prelude to our latex mask series I thought it would be helpful for the students to understand form, specifically how light and shadow affect the illusion of depth. With a purchase of scar wax, fake blood, and a bag of makeup artillery, the students were able to experience making realistic facial scars.

Here are a few photos of their spectacular work. Viewer discretion is advised.
