October Fun!!!!

6th – Dias De Los Muertos

Sixth grade art students have been wrapping up quarter one learning about Mexican and South American cultural traditions. Our focus has been on Dia de los Muertos, a festive and colorful celebration of the departed which is takes place on November 1st and 2nd. Students have been working with a variety of mixed media to create a personal “Nicho” that celebrates someone or something special in their lives.

 

7th – Heroes

In honor of the Sweethearts and Heroes program that came to Rundlett Middle School on September 28thand National Tolerance Day on November 16, our 7th graders did a portrait of a hero. Students learned what it meant to be a hero and chose one from the many heroes from various walks of life. Students also learned about facial proportions and value and used a combination of paint and chalk pastels to create their portraits. For more information on heroes: www.myhero.com,  www.tolerance.org and https://www.sweetheartsandheroes.com/

8th -Cirque De Soliel
Can middle school feel like a circus?  It is in the art rooms where Rundett’s eighth grade artists learned about Cirque du Soleil a unique theatrical performance that combines amazing physical talents and creative costumes.  Students learned about the proportions of the human figure and then how to draw the figure in motion.  We learned about Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man and how every individual is an example of mathematically proportioned perfection.  We then created a wire armature, padded it was foil and masking tape and then added tissue paper to build our performers.   Students were challenge to design creative costumes adding fun details to their cirque creations.
