Happy Summer!

This has been a highly unusual semester and I know it’s been challenging. Thank you so much for allowing me to teach you, for sharing your art with me, and persevering through our NTI Days. I hope you have a safe, happy, and healthy summer!

NTI Enrichment 2

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Appropriately, this enrichment activity asks you to reflect on who has had a positive impact on you and say “thank you”.

NTI Enrichment 1

This enrichment option is for the #GettyMuseumChallenge, this is an ungraded assignment that is so much fun!

Artist: Wayne Thiebaud, painter

Wayne Thiebaud (1920-2021) was an American artist from California who painted objects that you’d see everyday. He often painted desserts and sweet treats. His desserts are recognized because he uses thick paint and bright or pastel colors (tints= colors mixed with white). He wanted people to have a sense of humor and smile or laugh a little when looking at his art. Which dessert is your favorite?

GOAL- I can create a dessert drawing and fill in my paper.

Look at the dessert paintings below.
Think of your favorite dessert. Do you want to draw 1 of your favorite dessert or several lined up?
Lightly draw your dessert with pencil. Fill your page. Add a background. You can use the steps above to help.
Optional- trace your pencil lines with marker, crayons, or Sharpie.
Color in your dessert and background.

WCMS NTI Art Show

Students learned about master artists and were asked to create art inspired by those artworks. Students created art with materials they have available, which is an excellent way to show they’re engaging and persisting. Congratulations to our artists on creating through challenges! Thank you, Mrs. Joyner, for collaborating with me to create this video.
