As part of our Olweus Anti-Bullying program, eighth graders have been participating in weekly class meetings. Before break, our meeting focused on team building and group work. Students worked in a group to complete a challenge: each group had five pipe cleaners and one piece of foil. They had ten minutes to create something with the materials and I chose the groups who created the most creative, tallest and sturdiest structure. I think students had fun with the challenge and it was nice to see them work together in groups.
I can't believe that next Friday will be the end of first semester already! These past few months have flown by for me. We have been busy in the art room finishing up semester projects and focusing on our digital portfolios. Final exams include an artist statement and gallery of artwork on each student's portfolio so be sure to check out their websites after the semester ends to read about their self-reflections.

I don't think any of us realized just how much fun we were going to have with the activity. We spent three days on different types of figure drawing activities including drawing from models. Students enjoyed it so much they didn't want to clean up and stop! I Below are a few images of the activity.
