Dear Families of West Ottawa,
This week we are wrapping up our unit on Identity and will be starting a project on printmaking. Today students were in the computer lab typing up their papers on identity that they outlined last week in class. If students did not finish, they are to finish it as homework at home. All essay submissions need to be submitted electronically via the class website: http://womiddleart.weebly.com/identity-essay.html There is an instructional video that can be found on the website that demonstrates how to do this. All submissions are due by Wednesday, March 7, 2014. On Wednesday, students will be introduced to printmaking tools and how to use them safely. 8th graders will be given a study guide to study from for their safety quiz on Thursday. Students must receive an 80% or better in order to have the privilege of using the carving tools. So here in the week in review: Monday-Computer Lab to type up Identity Essay Tuesday-Finish Identity Collage Wednesday-All Identity Papers are due -Introduce Printmaking in class Thursday-Printmaking Safety Quiz Friday –Students create a design for their Linoleum Block If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] Artfully, Mrs. Morrissey |
