NeelsArtRoom Newsletter Week 9/8 - 9/12

Happy Friday Artists and Families,

Another great week full of creative adventures in Visual Art. We finished our first projects and started our second..."The Portfolio," Check out this project in each grade by clicking on the following links: 6th Portfolio, 7th Portfolio, 8th Portfolio. In the upcoming few weeks, students will be learning about Graffiti art, creative lettering themes, and linear perspective.

Important information:

1. Students in 7th and 8th grade were introduced to Google Classroom on Monday. Their first discussion topic was due today. As with the S.K.I.L.L.S assignments, discussions can be completed in class OR at home (students may choose). Unfortunately, some students waited until the last minute and ran into technical difficulties at home. I hope this will be a learning experience for future assignments. There are directions to access Google Classroom from home computers and personal devices located on the home page of my website, NeelsArtRoom. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me at Lindsay.Neel@fcps.org.

2. Students in 6th grade took a field trip to the computer lab Wednesday where they were introduced to Google Classroom. They will also have discussion topics bi-weekly. More directions and tutorials to come. Stay tuned.

3. Sketchbooks with glue bindings rather than spiral bindings are already falling apart. Eek! I highly recommend the spiral binding sketchbooks found at Wal-Mart or A.C. Moore (they last the longest).

I can't wait to post portfolio designs.

Creatively,

Ms. Neel :)
