Gallery 62

Vidhi Patel is representing Cumberland School in the Gallery 62 program this year. Gallery 62 artists were honored last night at the D62 Board of Education meeting. One piece of art is selected each year from every school. The work goes on display for a year at the Forest Board room. It then is returned to the student's home school until their 8th grade graduation ceremony, where it will be presented back to the student. Congratulations Vidhi on your accomplishment!

African Masks

Mrs. Pantelin's 3rd Grade Class created African-Inspired masks today in their art lesson. After looking at examples of art and masks from Africa, students created masks. The class used their knowledge of symmetrical design that they learned in Math class to create the features in the masks.

One of the questions that I like to ask my students in junior high is, "What would the world be like without art?" This video demonstrates all the ways that art affects our world and our lives!

Keep Drawing!

Here is an awesome video that shows different drawing styles. When you link different pictures together it creates animation. Hopefully it will inspire you too!
