Students had STAAR testing Monday through Thursday, and we met on Friday, a Charger Day. We looked at several artworks by artist Eiko Ojala on ThisisColossal.com. We discussed the method used for creating the illusion-filled artworks made of cut and torn paper, then had a sketchbook assignment based on the last one we saw. Think of something small and something big, then switch their sizes in a drawing. For example: something small like a mouse and something big like a herd of elephants. Draw the mouse extra large and the elephants smaller, inside or on the mouse. JR. VASE: success!Students who had registered for Jr. VASE and were available to attend on Saturday, May 14, were invited to go. That way at least the students who could attend would be eligible for the highest level of award: Silver Medal. (If it's the highest, why don't they call it Gold? I don't know.) It paid off! Twelve of the 18 artworks that were entered received a score of IV (and therefore a red drape medal), and of those 12, 4 entries received a Silver Medal! I'm super proud of everyone and truly appreciate Region 4 West allowing us to participate since we missed the event in Region 4 East. It was a great experience!
Since we are not going to have jurors come to Pin Oak also, those students who were registered but could not attend on Saturday will not participate this year. I'm still proud of each one of you and appreciate your hard work, and I'm glad I included your work in the Spring Art Show recently. Start thinking about ideas for next year!
