8th Grade Surreal Projects using Photoshop

sur·re·al səˈrēəl 

Having the qualities of surrealism; bizarre. A surreal mix of fact and fantasy.

The 8th grade art students had the opportunity to work with Photoshop to create a surreal composition. MMS is so fortunate to have one lab licensed with Photoshop Elements which is something I have been literally begging for the last three or four years. Photoshop allows our students the opportunity to expand their exposure to alternative mediums. I am ecstatic with the outcome and even more excited about being able to offer this platform to our students here at Middleton Middle School. Below are just a few of the fantastic surreal work created this past trimester.

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!
