Middle School Masterpieces

Mercedes, Arely, Lashonda and a few other students are painting a Parisian starry night for the school auction.

Larisa, Samantha, Sally, Carmelita and others are painting a Hokusai-inspired wave.

Ada, Kayla, Samantha and Dajana are piecing together the pitchfork of American Gothic for a class project.

Zarina, Sarah, Adamari and others are working to paint the famous American Gothic pair.
The middle school girls have painted up a storm since winter break.  As a class, they are creating a large-scale version of American Gothic that will be used in their celebration of learning next month.  Also, the ladies in this class are creating two pieces for the school auction.  These projects  have given the girls a lot of freedom to experiment with acrylics as a medium, and I have gained a more thorough understanding of what we need to learn or improve as we begin our paintings for the spring art show.  Nice work Ladies!
