MMS ART "lil' fest"

Whoooo hooooo!

A date has been set!

A logo has been created! (thanks Alana Hyman, you rock!)

Let's have ourselves a Lil' Art Fest!

Whoe, year nine?!

Our festival is a smaller scale than years past, but will be an excellent showcase of our amazing students.  We are open to STUDENT VENDORS.  If you are an artsty student interested in exhibiting or selling your art, click here and scroll down to find the vendor form: http://www.wsfcs.k12.nc.us//Domain/2363

If you are interested in donating something to the bake sale, please e-mail ebmiller@wsfcs.k12.nc.us and let me know.  We need individually wrapped items, labeled and brought to MMS the morning of March 21!  This fundraiser helps big art dreams come to life at MMS!

Students at MMS, if you play an instrument and would like to play acoustic music (coffee shop style) the night of the festival, please contact me at ebmiller@wsfcs.k12.nc.us

If you are able to donate any of the following items, we would be so grateful:

Coffee cups; Napkins; yummy coffee creamer, spoons, sweet tea, lemon, clear cups for tea, ice bags, pretty tea pictures we can borrow :)

Red Tail Ridge Farm & 7th Grade

4A, 7th graders had a great "field trip" across the street to Red Tail Ridge Farm.

THIS. WAS. SO. FUN.

This was a photography assignment.

I can't wait to see all of the photos! More to come...

LeAnne, the owner was such a wonderful host!

And below is a selection of pieces that were exhibited at the Lil' Art Fest!

MEANINGFUL weavings

Okay, so the B-day 7th graders are weaving.

I LOVE this project because it is GREAT for people that do not like to draw.

You can WEAVE ANYTHING in these!

And, adding meaning is always good.

Meaning could be:

what I ate today.

CUT UP your pop-tart box. Cereal box.  Kit-Kat wrapper.  WEAVE it.  COOL!!

OR....my mom's junk drawer.  CUT UP JUNK. Weave it in.

Or....RECYCLED treasures!  Cut up stuff that needs to be thrown away or given to goodwill.

Or......all white.  How about only whit stuff? I'm seeing plastic forks, spoons, paper, fabric, straws....

ENJOY THIS folks.  

These win awards.  Seriously.

 ^^ The one on the left was a SCHOLASTIC winner a few years back!!  

THIS IS A BIG DEAL!!!!

^^^ This blue weaving with the belts is really cool.  It is random. Fun. Has unity because of the colors.  NOW, IF I can just convince the artist that it is too!

Quotes. Writing. Reflection. Art!!

This group of 7th graders looked at a famous piece or art and art quote for their inspiration. They then ran with these two elements to create their own piece of art. Students reflected on the quote and interpreted its meaning. The result was great!
