The 8th Grade Studio in Art Class had as a guiding theme this year, world archaeology . The theme centered on ancient civilizations by interpreting visual clues left to us by early cultures. Activities included library research, Internet searches, guided museum visits, guest speakers and construction of the artifact using a variety of art materials in new and inventive ways.
Students set artifacts within their historic contexts with their acrylic paintings.
The culminating activity was a museum display hosted by the class. Student docents guided visitors through the exhibit providing historic background. All student projects may be viewed on this page or with links from this page.
