from the ARTIST WORKSHOP

I had to acknowledge Monday evening’s celestial event in art Tuesday. Each class started with students sharing their observation of the Super moon. Some were on the way from an after school activity, some were in their yards, and a few were with families on the beach having dinner.

 After sharing, we talked briefly about the science involved, and I showed a few art examples. Then each sketched art including the moon in their sketchbooks. We are working on Art Work To Go Home, so the mixed media paper was cut to 6”X 9”, and they could choose preferred medium. Several chose a pre-cut circle for the moon. Most will be finishing next class, and may select one of these to come home.
