This fine group of sixth grade Huskies is wrapping up their last week of art at Northern Trails. Our time together absolutely flew by. This impressive group of hardworking working students have proven to be kind, motivated and always up for a challenge. They are going out with a bang this year. In art class, they learned how to mix tints, tones, and shades of colors. Using a black and white photo of a critically endangered specie as inspiration, they assessed its value scale and created a monochromatic painting of the animal. This challenging project called on them to apply everything they learned in art over the last two years. They have learned that artwork is created for many different purposes, including to inspire compassion and spark interest in a topic. Students read about the endangered specie in their painting, and collectively as a sixth grade created the movie featuring their artwork, to educate others about these beautiful creatures. I will miss this special group of artists dearly, and I hope they will continue to explore visual arts classes in middle school. Enjoy their movie below!
