I can’t believe Quarter 2 is already over! We’ve made it half way! In Art Class, we have officially finished the Alebrije project…and it was SO fun! Now we’re starting on our next Element of Art: Value. We are learning about Chuck Close and will be doing a collaborative class portrait of a favorite staff member! Working in the style of Mr. Close, we will not be doing some small portrait, but instead we will make it Large and In Charge…any votes for who we should make a portrait of?
