Dear Mac Bay Families,
7th graders have been learning about value the last few weeks. They started out learning how to draw and shade various forms such as a sphere, cube, and cylinder. Next, students built a word sculpture using paper strips. Photographs were then taken of the sculptures and students used a grid drawing technique to draw the contours of each letter. Once their contour drawings were complete, students used drawing pencils and shading sticks to add value and contrast to their word drawings. If students were not finished with their drawings on Monday, they were assigned as homework and are due tomorrow, Friday, May 20. This week 7th graders started learning about printmaking. Students learned about the different printmaking tools and were then quizzed on their knowledge. Students will begin transferring their designs to a linoleum block and learning how to carve it so it will be like a stamp that can be inked and printed. As of May 20, West Ottawa Public Schools will have a new phone system. If you need to reach me, please call 616-786-2000 and my extension is x4432 or x4430. If you have any questions or concerns, you can also reach me at [email protected]. Sincerely, Mrs. Morrissey Comments are closed.
