The third Element students practiced was Value. First, students learned how to shade objects according to a light source. For this project, they created 3-dimensional forms by cutting the shapes out of construction paper and using charcoal to add values. They filled then glued the shapes to a newspaper collage background and gave each shape a cast shadow according to it's light source. Student samples top to bottom: Carrie Watson and Macee Shoeing Next, students practiced value in a different form by revisiting our monochromatic color scheme. Students created a layered image of trees descending into the distance. The trees furthest away were not only smaller, but also lighter in color. The middle ground trees were a mid tone, and the trees in the foreground were the darkest. The students drew and cut out their foreground trees to place on top of their paintings. Their skies were also a value scale, as they were dark towards the top and grew lighter as they approached the horizon.

Start With Hello is an organization created by members of the Sandy Hook Promise. Their mission is to create a culture engaged in preventing shootings, violence, and other harmful acts in schools. Their words, actions, and impact nationwide are intended to honor all victims of gun violence by turning their tragedy into a moment of transformation. Start With Hello Week raises awareness about social isolation and educates students and the community on how to prevent it. Mrs. Wirth placed sticky notes on every student's locker to greet them on Tuesday. Mr. Lowry's class made positive posters to hang throughout the school in addition to a banner that all students of the school were able to sign as their pledge to
"start with hello." The second Element students practiced was Color. First, students learned about the color wheel and opposite (complimentary colors). For this project, they created color wheels by drawing a short word or their initials. They filled the outside spaces with the colors of the color wheel, and the inside spaces with the corresponding opposite color. Works created by Isabella Sohaski (top left) Madison Loveless (top right) Addyson Foltz (bottom left) and Haylee Bryan (bottom right). Next, students studied different color schemes, such as Achromatic (no color), Monochromatic (1 color + black and white), Analogous (next to each other on the color wheel) and finally, Triadic Colors (which are evenly spaced on the color wheel). They traced geometric shapes and used tempera paint to create this project.

For this project, they traced leaves and drew rings of circles by using a compass. They filled the leaves with the warm colors and the background contained the cool colors. Students used colored pencils for this project. Top row, left to right: Carrie Watson and Daytona Barron

To engage children in an exciting, free, and safe creative space while highlighting the importance that the arts (specifically visual art) are an integral part of every community and 2. To advertise and raise interest for the performance group Artrageous that will be performing at the PCOFA on September 15th.
On September 8th, Artfest had it's grand opening at Twin lakes Park in Paris. It was 2 hours of mess-making fun! Some of the art stations included squirt gun painting, shaving cream painting, balloon/dart painting and more! Children of all ages enjoyed the event. Some art activities resulted in projects the kids were able to take home, other projects were collaborative efforts that will be used to decorate the PCOFA for this weekend when Artrageous appears. The show will be this Sunday the 15th at 3:30pm - tickets are $10 for children, $25 for adult. Visit https://www.pcofa.net/ to purchase tickets. Click this link to check out Artrageous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3VjgTxACQE These artists have been hard at work learning about Color Theory. They reviewed the primary/secondary colors and how they're arranged on the color wheel (see the Umbrella art project) which led to learning about opposite colors (see the Watercolor Trees) and lastly, they've learned the warm and cool colors by painting the Sunrise paintings and the Sun&Moon paintings. Awesome job, kiddos! working hard in art class - painting their sunrises Warm & Cool Colors(from left to right) Artworks by Rob Kelly, Asher Dean and Landen Cowger Artwork by Trinity Hughes Watercolor Trees with Opposite Colors(from top to bottom) Artworks by Jamie Prouse, Dylan Floyd-Miller, and Rob Kelly Color Wheel Umbrellas(from left to right)
Artworks by Leyton Mattingly and Shaine Davis To clear up any confusion, here are the lists of students and the days they are expected to attend After School Art:
At Mayo, if a student chooses to participate in band, they are unable to take Art as a class during the school day. Thus, Art Club was created to give those students an opportunity to experience art while still being involved in band.
I've decided to change the name to After School Art because that's what it is - a continued period of the day after school hours. After School Art students create the same projects and learn the same material as the Art Class students, they just don't have time to fit it in their daily schedules. I hope to someday also have an Art Club - members of whom would help me with tasks or projects around the school (art displays, preparing for art shows, painting play sets, etc.) But for now, my goal is to integrate Art into the curriculum as a mandated core subject. In order to reach everyone, After School Art is a must. Thankfully, I've had loads of students sign up for After School Art! With that said, the group is too large to have in my art room at one time. As a result, I am splitting the class in two. One section will meet on Tuesdays, the other on Wednesdays. Both classes will go until 4pm, as per usual. Please email me with any questions, concerns, or ways to integrate art into the curriculum! Respectfully, Miss Arp [email protected] Students are learning and practicing the 7 Elements of Design. The first element we learned about was line. Students chose two colors of construction paper, traced their hand and drew lines to form sections across their paper. Then they used Sharpies to fill in the spaces with a variety of lines and patterns. To display their work, I tied it together with a quote by American artist Keith Haring, "Art is for everyone" and hung them above the office in the main hall of the school! HAND ART PROJECTS IN THE HALLWAY OF MAYO MIDDLE SCHOOL.
Art Room Rules:1. Treat all humans, projects, and supplies with respect. 2. Always be mindful and well-informed, practicing safety at all times. 3. Give your best effort on every project. 4. Communicate, use integrity and practice teamwork skills. 5. Take pride in yourself, your projects, and Mayo Middle School. Dismissal from Art:Though art is in the form of an elective class at Mayo, each student will still receive a grade based on their projects, effort, and behavior. Students are required to follow my Art Room Rules (see above). Refusal to do so, earning more than 3 Strikes, or in the event of failing any other subject for 3 consecutive weeks, will result in dismissal from Art Class/Art Club. (There will be no grade for Art Club, as it is after school hours).
