My artwork looks like a fishing boat. The title is the Lonely Fishing Boat. It consists of stuff that people would throw away, like cardboard, old glue sticks, bottle caps, and pencils. My artwork was inspired by boats. I wanted to show that people throw things away that can be used for art. My goals were to reuse and recycle. Making this helped me reach my goals because I took something that someone would throw away and made a boat. I learned that people throw too much stuff away that they could reuse. I will probably make more boats.
Heath is a 7th grader at FBCS. He enjoys playing basketball and X-Box. Heath thinks art is fun, loves that it offers him the opportunity to make things, and he is good at it. The boat picture is a project he just completed in the FBCS Art Studio. It is a great example of art being used to make a statement about an important issue. The following is what Heath wrote about his art. Great job Heath!

Kindergarten students began their study of Edgar Degas and movement this week. We looked at Degas' paintings of ballerinas and race horses and we talked about showing movement in our artwork. We created thumbprint people running, diving, cheering, and playing ball. "Over, under, over, under" is what you heard while 1st and 2nd graders worked on their paper weaving projects. Students worked hard and their weaving looks fabulous. 3rd and 4th graders began loom preparation. We viewed and discussed Kandinsky's Squares & Concentric Circles and each student painted their weaving loom (a Chinet paper plate) in Kandinsky style. 5th graders started stringing the warp threads on their clay looms. It was difficult and required concentration. I was proud of how hard they worked. (For more information on our weaving projects view the Weaving Binder under the Lesson Binder tab.) Middle school students finished their work on proportion and using a grid. They began work on tone, shading, texture, and variety, creating still life drawings of pumpkins, squash, and sunflowers. (For more information on our drawing lessons view the MS Drawing 1B and 2B binders under the Lesson Binder tab.) High School students looked back in history at the beginning of art. We viewed videos on the Caves of Lascaux, Stonehenge, Mesopotamian Art, and the artwork directions for the tabernacle. We discussed how the art of previous civilizations provide a glimpse into their worlds. What would you draw to tell others about your life? About your faith? About Scripture? Those are questions the students are answering as their create a "cave" style drawing that tells a Bible story. (For more information on this lesson view The Beginning of Art binder under the Lesson Binder tab.)
